Airborne Comes Clean


When symptoms of the common cold hit have you ever reached for Airborne – the herbal supplement that advertised it helps fight off colds? I have and I swear it works! Therefore I was surprised to learn that Airborne, created by a second-grade teacher, will pay $23.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought against the company for false advertising.

According to CSPI senior nutritionist David Schardt, "There's no credible evidence that what's in Airborne can prevent colds or protect you from a germy environment." He went on to say, "Airborne is basically on overpriced, run-of-the-mill vitamin pill that's been cleverly, but deceptively, marketed."

The defendants, Airborne, have “deni[ed] any wrongdoing or illegal conduct” however they “have agreed to settle the litigation,” says a recorded message at the toll-free number of the class-action settlement administrator.

Although Airborne may not fight off colds I think the product still cannot hurt... they are herbal supplements after all! I may not pay the high dollar for the little plastic tube filled with twelve chalky tablets but I will definitely make use of the extra remedy left over in my medicine cabinet. What do you think? After this new finding will you still use Airborne? What other health products on the market do you think run the risk of being fraud?

Your Heart’s Meow!


Are you a cat or dog person? While a dog may be a “Man’s Best Friend” owning a domestic feline may have its benefits! According to a study presented at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference owning a cat may lower one’s risk of dying from a heart attack.

Author Dr. Adnan Qureshi, executive director of the Minnesota Stroke Institute, says, “There isn’t enough evidence to recommend [owning a cat] as a standard practice. But the flip side is that unlike other medical interventions, which have a risk and a cost associated with it, this has minimal risk and isn’t as costly. There’s not much harm to it.”

So if you have been considering adopting a furry friend remember your heart my thank you now and again in the future for not only providing it companionship but also its longevity in this world!

Cheers!

REWIND!!!



Cortney Bailey Hosts the 18th Annual "Night of 100 Stars" in Diamonds by Linda Kim

I’m rewinding back to the “Night of 100 Stars” - Oscar Night – so that you can view the LIVE internet videos. So if you have two hours of your life (right who has two hours???) sit back and enjoy the LIVE footage! If you are limited to a few minutes (like most of us) just fast-forward and stop when you see a celeb that catches your eye!

A few things to know:

1. Clearly we are having a fun time…hey you have to when it’s LIVE!

2. Celeb interviews start around 38 minutes in. P.S. The longer you view the better the celebs get…however some of the non-celeb interviews are pretty darn entertaining…esp. the stocker interview!! It still cracks me up!

3. Bear with me on the first few minutes of the first video! We had microphone and camera issues!!! If you fast – forward to about the 20 minute mark the feed picks up a little more!

4. The second video features veteran entertainment reporter/ correspondent John Pattyson on the Red Carpet! I was thrilled to get to work with him! You will see me pop in and out of the video half way though because I was conducting other interviews at the time! Click below to watch:
