Thirsty? Beware of Fruit Drinks, They are No Better Than Drinking Soda!

Once in the supermarket, you are drawn to the pictures of juicy and healthy-looking label of a drink.

The same way manufacturers argue that cell phone radiation posses no risk, it's no wonder that the makers of laser pointers insists that they pose minimal dangers to your eye-sight. They claim that these devices lack the power to cause blindness. The reality is the light from some laser pointers can damage the eye if stared at directly for more than 10-15 seconds.

Flu vs Common Cold Symptoms; What Is The Difference

When I was younger, I could not understand why some people would get really sick with flu or cold to a point of missing school or work. I thought, like most people, that flu or common cold symptoms are the same. Now, however, I know better, especially after having a really bad case of the flu early last year. What's The Difference?
