Does pouring plain old tap water into fancy bottles make it taste better?  Yes.  At least in it did in a Penn & Teller episode on bottled water (please watch this video- very entertaining).  Penn & Teller went inside a southern California restaurant that featured a water sommelier that dispensed extravagant water menus to the patrons. The patrons had no idea that all of the fancy bottles of water were filled with the same water from a water hose in the back of the restaurant. Patrons were willing to pay $7.00 a bottle for L’eau Du Robinet (French for faucet water), Agua de Culo (Spanish for ass water), and Amazone (filtered through the Brazilian rainforest’s natural filtration system). How do cues pri...

Dr. Ribeiro says that Gadhafi wanted to hide the fact that he was having the procedure, so he opted for a less radical procedure than a full facelift.

I have carried out my own blind taste tests, and my results have shown that there is no difference in taste. Interestingly, however, the results are different in non-blind taste tests. When blind tests are conducted, the taste buds really don’t seem to think that bottled water tastes better than tap water. In 2001, ABC’s Good Morning America conducted a blind water taste test. The viewers’ preferences were as follows: 12 percent Evian 19 percent O-2 24 percent Poland Spring 45 percent New York City tap water Yorkshire Water, the water department in Yorkshire, England, found that 60 percent of 2,800 people surveyed could not tell the difference between the local tap...

A shampoo is first applied which removes all build-up. Then the solution, using the solution by Brazilian Blowout is applied all over the hair with a comb. The hair is then flat-ironed to “bake in” the treatment. Once entirely flat-ironed, the solution is washed out with Brazilian Blowout shampoo and a deep conditioning cream conditioned is left in for 5 minutes.  Could this $300 + in chair treatment make the hair healthier? The Left Brain responds: The Blowout sounds like another name for the so-called Brazilian Keratin Straightening process which uses a high concentration of formaldehyde (or similar compounds)... thebeautybrains.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3108448 Mon, 21 Dec 2009 06:01:29 +0100 3108448 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2021408&cid=t_216419_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2008%2F12%2F08%2Fdaily-strength-sold-to-hsw-international%2F Daily Strength, a health social networking site that likes to boast about the number of communities it hosts (regardless of the number of actual active members it has), has been sold to an international corporation called HSW International.

The ‘Brazilian Rio-Blush rejuvenation system’ is now available in Britain after being a huge success in the US. According to the celebrity Parisian doctor, Jules-Jacques Nabet the treatment has produced amazing results. While treating a patient carbon dioxide gas is injected just under the surface of the skin using a fine needle. The gas diffuses into the surrounding tissues and cause blood vessel to dilute. Wider blood vessels increase oxygen and nutrient supply to the treated area. Evidence shows that the carbon dioxide kills the fat cells by causing them to distend. The extra oxygen eliminates fluid build-up between cells and the skin is stimulated to produce more collagen. Fewer fat c...
