Details:

Hi, I have been recently promoted to the post of Product Manager for a web product from my ex-post of Information Architect which was the sub-domain of the product management post. Though it's a big challenge itself but it's a big opportunity for me too. I am redetermined for my success and ready to embrace the responsibilities associated with this rollup but have no or little experience about product management. What I need from you guyz is to please suggest me any article, book or other resource to polish my product management skills.

Recently, I was given a negative score (now under appeal) for disagreeing with group think about whether moderate consumption of soy is harmful-- see

This reminds me of when everyone was convinced that the solution to obesity was a low fat, high carb diet. Turns out that advice was wrong for most people. Remember when Crisco and old fashion oleo (margarine) were touted as "heath foods?" We all know now that they were filled with pro-inflamatory trans-fats and hardly healthy. What examples of "medical fact" can you think of that have now become "medical fiction?" What current medical advice (as interpreted by the media) do you believe will later be proven flawed?
