Title: JAMA magazine

whether you agree with the articles' opinions or not, it is a quality magazine.
I just like to see what they are discussing.

Are you talking about the Journal of the American Medical Association? I guess what threw me is calling it a "magazine"... I tend to think of magazines as publications that are made more for the general population whereas JAMA and others are peer-reviewed journals for a particular specialty. I agree that it is sometimes interesting to see what areas of research that doctors are looking at. But remember that because it is written more for scientists and doctors in that field, some of the things discussed may just be in the early stages of research, so it may not become available to the general public for several years, if it even makes it out of clinical testing.
