"there's lots of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it."

no, there are no hair growing herbs.

no, rosemary does not cure toenail fungus.

yes, several components of some red wines have been proven to lower blood pressure and reduce risk of heart attack while boosting your anti-oxidative state.


ever had questions like these? ever seen the stupid, cheesy, almost-too-dumb-to-not-believe ads online promising health miracles?

my friend aaron moss and some other people at uw pharmaceutics have decided to provide the public with a way to find out the truth about these things. they would love to hear your health myth questions.

give it a shot, its free. just click on the "post a new message" button in the middle and type. no subscribing or anything. it's easy. tell everyone that might be interested about this forum. they want to spread the word and help people become informed about these false/misleading/unusual promotions and messages.

discuss debunking health myths

go there, ask questions. see what information they find to set the record straight!
