Jim Gaffigan says he takes vitamins. “I take them out of the cupboard and put them in the drawer.” He also notes, “Vitamins….they may be expensive but at least there’s no proof they work. There’s vitamins and then there’s herbal supplements which are not FDA approved and to put that in perspective…the Twinkie is. I don’t even know who herbal supplements are for…it’s like ‘Hey…if you’re not wasting enough money on vitamins that don’t work you should check out this stuff that’s kind of the horoscope of vitamins.'”

I confess in my time as a fitness person I have bought, tried, and peed away all sorts of vitamins and supplements. Logically, I know most of the ads are fake – that supermodel, bodybuilder, actor didn’t get that way taking the product they are selling you. Besides being based on shoddy science, or no science at all, I also know that many supplements don’t even contain the product they are promoting. And yet, there is that part of my brain that says, “Yeah, but maybe this one is different; maybe this one will really work.” It’s like hoping a spider bite will give you super powers… probably note but just maybe.

If you are counting on that product you spent a lot of money having some affect, even if it’s just a placebo, do not, I repeat click on the link below. It’s a weird, interactive, display of what things actually do what they claim to do. (SPOILER ALERT: Most stuff does not do what it claims to do.) On the other hand, if you want to have data so you can save your friend who wastes money on vitamins and supplements, this is a great site to check out.

12 Reasons

14 Monday Oct 2013

We interrupt the series on The Three to bring you these 12 Reasons Why I Quit Attending Sports Events.

1. The coach never came to visit me.
2. Every time I went, they asked me for money.
3. The people sitting in my row didn’t seem very friendly.
4. The seats were very hard.
5. The referees made a decision I didn’t agree with.
6. I was sitting with hypocrites—they only came to see what others were wearing!
7. Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.
8. The band played some songs I had never heard before.
9. The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.
10. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
11. Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches, anyway.
12. I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.

I found this today and wanted to share. I don’t know who Josh Hosle is, but he makes a compelling argument.

If we’re so evolved why do we keep going into life crushing debt to buy junk that just rusts and corrupts?

If we’re so evolved how in the world did that chubby, little, blond girl and her family get to be famous/infamous? (I refuse to mention her name but you know who she is and that’s sad.)
