Vitaminwater: Untruth in Advertising

Vitaminwater: Untruth in Advertising

By Jennie

A recent lawsuit has illustrated once again the importance of the old maxim caveat emptor – “let the buyer beware.” The Center for Science in the Public Interest, a non-profit public interest group, is suing Coca-Cola over what they call “deceptive and unsubstantiated (health) claims” that advertising for their Vitaminwater product allegedly makes. Coca-Cola’s attorneys are defending their company in court papers by stating that “no consumer could reasonably be misled into thinking Vitaminwater was a healthy beverage.”

Healthy Pet Tips

Healthy Pet Tips

By Lily

Browsing through the pet department of your favorite store, the selection of food and treats are huge. Most times it is hard to know what is really good for your pet and what is really in the best interest of promoting a healthy pet.

I have always fed my dogs the lamb meal and rice food that has no other by-products.  I have three dogs of various ages and it’s good for all them.  It’s also a good choice for dogs that are sensitive to corn, poultry or wheat.  Another perk, is the subsequent clean-up of the yard is made easier by feeding them food with no by-products.

Summertime Sunburn – What Are Your Remedies ?

I think we have probably all done it. Gone way too long in the sun without protection, and ended up paying the price. At first you look a little pink and think it won’t be so bad. Then you wake up the next morning, look in the mirror and think you are looking at the Red Lobster logo!

The Breast Cancer Protection Act

The Breast Cancer Protection Act

By Lily

The Breast Cancer Protection Act was first introduced to Congress in 1996. It’s purpose is to stop “drive-through mastectomies” where women are sent home almost immediately after surgery. The Act prohibits insurance companies from restricting benefits for less than 48 hours after a mastectomy and 24 hours for a lymph node dissection. While it does not require the patient stay there that amount time, no approval is necessary if they do. After passing Congress in 2008, intense lobbying from insurance companies kept it from reaching the Senate floor for a vote. The Act has again been re-introduced. The Lifetime Channel has collected over 24 million signatures of support. If you’d like to sign the petition, here is the link. Please feel free to share your thoughts and stories.

Recall of Children’s Medicine

By Jennie

McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of Tylenol and a number of other over-the-counter medicines has issued a voluntary recall of certain children’s medicines (a full list can be found here) due to quality control concerns. The recall covers 43 different products under the brand names of Tylenol, Motrin, Zyrtec and Benadryl. The company issued the recall after fielding consumer complaints over “tiny particles” found in some medicines; investigation of these complaints led to concerns that some of the medications “may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than is specified” and “others may contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements,” according to a press release issued by the company.
