I've subscribed off and on to Prevention for over 20 years. I chose not to renew again for a few reasons;
1. The same topics are rehashed over and over again, year after year. Just look at the covers for a year or two and you'll see the same stories. "Drop 10 pounds in two weeks with our new plan" "Walk Off Belly Fat with our New Plan" "Defy Your Age" etc. etc. etc. If you want, subscribe for a year and then save your money by not renewing. You won't miss much new stuff.
2. Prevention has gone from a magazine promoting the prevention of disease with natural choices to promoting cures with the latest drugs.
3. Once you subscribe to a Rodale publication you will be inundated with offers for their latest and best ever diet plan books. They manage to find the "real" secret to quick and permanent weight loss with amazing frequency and regularity. I used to subscribe to Prevention and Organic Gardening and Runner's World but I now avoid any Rodale publication.
4. Prevention is too quick to jump on the latest bandwagon regarding healthy eating. Over the years it has gone from proclaiming that people shouldn't get more than 10-15% of their calories from protein to recommending 3x that amount, from declaring that you shouldn't eat carrots (high glycemic value) or egg yolks (cholesterol) or white potatoes (no food value), etc. to declaring that these are super foods, from promoting the consumption of minimal fats to the near worship of MUFAs. I know that first and foremost Rodale is a big business, and its main interest is getting people to buy its books and magazines, but I believe Prevention has fueled the hysteria over bad and good foods that the general population misinterprets.
Prevention has many good points and articles, but I no longer find it worth my time or money.
Very good articles !! You learn a lot October 21, 2009

A wealth of information about nutrition and talks about natural ways to cure common problems .
 Bad magazine, worse customer service October 16, 2009
Skunk Tabby (Washington, DC)
There are more ads than articles in Prevention, and the few articles are either only a couple of paragraphs long and/or are pushing you to buy some other Prevention product. It's a total waste of money. Even worse, the customer service is beyond belief. The customer service website is nonfunctional--after a few failed attempts to log in, it will refer you to their 800 number. Once you call the 800 number, good luck getting a human being. Attempts to cancel my subscription have gone unacknowledged, and I keep getting bills.
Mega-Disappointment! October 11, 2009

Warning -- If you are looking for the Prevention Magazine that you remember reading back in the 1970's or 1980's -- THIS ISN'T IT!
Gone are the wonderful articles on health by way of the PREVENTION of disease, replaced by advertisements for DRUGS and useless "fashion magazine" type stories that are filled to the brim with NOTHING of any value to the astute reader. The original publisher of Prevention must have run into financial difficulties, and perhaps sold the name to another company. This magazine bears absolutely no resemblance to the informative, educational publication it once was. I noticed years ago that it started slipping in the value of information presented, but this is just a joke! I'd compare it to a print version of all those endless commercials on TV for perscription medications, showing young, hip people in positive situations, while a voice-over drones on with an endless list of side-effects including death.
If you are looking to educate yourself about the prevention of disease, by all means avoid this useless publication. It is completely without value, unless you happen to have a short leg on your coffee table.
Yes, it's that bad. Stay away!
