A protein, C-reactive protein, that was thought to cause heart disease may be cleared. A study published by The Journal of the American Medical Association showed that the protein, while it does have something to do with heart disease is not a cause of it but merely a marker. There were two things to prove their theory. One was that medicines that targeted CPR levels in hopes to reduce heart disease did not work, and the fact that people who develop more CPR are do not automatically develop heart disease.
This article was very well written, the lead made me want to read more about it. The second paragraph said that it was in fact related to heart disease which made me question the first paragraph that said it was not. However it still pulled me in. I also really enjoyed the reference to a fire drill in the5th paragraph. Clever.
