Are Generic Drugs Really Just as Good? &...

Mike Carruthers | OmniCast Media
About this episode

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.

Too much sun is a problem. But so is too little sun. It turns out there is strong medical evidence that some sun is good for your health. Listen to hear how much and what it is good for. (http://www.rd.com/health/wellness/sun-affects-your-body/)

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. One of the experts in this field is Art Markman, professor of Psychology and Marketing at the University of Texas at Austin and author of the book Bring Your Brain To Work: Using Cognitive Science to Get a Job, Do It Well and Advance Your Career (https://amzn.to/2WpTbc6). Listen as Art joins me for a fascinating look at a better way to find professional success.
