Paul sent me a link to this YouTube vid from skeptic, author and professor Michael Shermer. No, it has nothing to do with supps, diet, exercise or health per se… but it IS relevant to those subjects. Basically, the vid is about the kinds of questions people need to ask themselves when confronted by claims… so the mental steps Dr. Shermer discusses are quite applicable to the claims made in supp ads and other health-related info you find on the internet.
It’s a tad long, but worth every minute. Enjoy!

Excellent video Elissa. Mr. Shermer brings up very logical thinking on how to decide what to beleive or trust. Many words to live by.
