A new study revealed that children’s language skills don’t get better after watching educational DVDs like the Baby Wordsworth from the Walt Disney Company’s Baby Einstein series. Frederik Joelving from Reuters reports, “While The Baby Einstein Company does not explicitly make educational claims, it notes on its web page that the Baby Wordsworth DVD is a “playful introduction to words and sign language.””
The study was over a 6 week span and involved 88 children, ages one and two. Some children were assigned to watch the Baby Einstein DVD, and others were assigned not to. At the end of the study, researchers “then tested the language skills in each group based on how many words the kids knew according to their parents and how well they did in a lab test,” states Joelving. These tests revealed that children who watched the DVD had the same language skills as the children who didn’t watch the DVD.

We all know that too much of anything isn’t beneficial, including watching too much T.V.
Health.com reported that researchers in Australia did a study on close to 9,000 adults with zero heart disease history and followed them for six years. The study did a comparison on those who watched two or less hours of television per day versus those who viewed more than four hours of television. Those who watched more than four hours of T.V. were 80% more apt for death by heart disease.
Every extra hour spent viewing the TV increased the danger of dying from heart disease by almost 20%.

…it was with some regret that I watched NBC News last week promote a new breakthrough in fat destruction that would revolutionize body contouring. The breakthrough is a machine that freezes fat causing the fat to self destruct. The expert was one of my most esteemed colleagues who described (promoted) this technology even though it has not passed through any testing by the FDA (or any other scientific body to my knowledge).
