Description

Growing up I remember my mother telling me I shouldn’t drink coffee because it could stunt my growth. Really? How could that possibly be true? Also, people have long believed that coffee will sober up someone who has been drinking. Can coffee really do that too? This episode begins with a look at what coffee can and cannot do. http://lifehacker.com/four-popular-coffee-myths-debunked-by-science-1780764499
Why would you pay for name brand drug when a generic version is cheaper? After all, generic drugs are equivalent to name brands - right? That’s the question I explore with journalist Katherine Eban, author of the book Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom (https://amzn.to/2K1f6Vm). We have all been told that generic drugs are the same - or at least have the same active ingredient as name brand drugs at a fraction of the price. However, they may not necessarily be true. Katherine’s investigation found a disturbing story about the safety and effectiveness of generic drugs that you probably haven’t heard before. If you or a friend or family member takes prescription drugs, it is important for you to hear this episode.

Finding the right job or even figuring out what career path to take is challenging and often difficult. However, there is some good research in this area that can help you find a job, do it well and move up the ladder.
