After too many (to handle personally) people asked me what journals I read,
I have decided to share that with everyone.  Keep in mind that I read
50-100/month (not always the same ones, and most all of them at a library
(or, if obtained by Inter-Library Loan, in the sanctity of my own office).
The key here is knowing WHERE to look for articles.  There is no such thing
as ONE BEST journal EVER!  Occasionally journals that you would least
expect will offer a gem of an article that is worth digging out.  I use
internet access to National Library of Medicine and get abstracts of all
whose titles alert me to something.  Most anyone on LACTNET could probably
already do this on their own.  And, more and more journals are now offering
"on line articles" (sometimes these are the same as those found in hard
copy pages; sometimes they are found ONLY as on-line articles.  So, here is
my list, by no means inclusive (and I may forget one or two of those I do
read; sorry about that).  This list is NOT in any particular order, either.

and some others I can't remember.

I do not find the time to do this; I MAKE the time to do this.  The only
way for me to stay current is to read widely, which is why I do it.
