...claims for their beverages, for fear of provoking the FDA. Says Dr. Gabe Mirkin, associate professor at Georgetown University Medical School: "There's no way the consumer can know if any of these beverages are really doing all that they claim to do." Many of the putatively healing potions contain little more than trace elements of the prominently mentioned herbal ingredients, says Mirkin. For example, in order to take aboard the dosage of St. John's wort that clinical tests have shown to reduce stress, one would have to drink six bottles of SoBe Wisdom a day. Which SoBe wouldn...
Whether they seek to brighten their moods, stave off disease, rev up their sex lives or retain their youth, more and more Americans are supplementing and replacing prescription medicines with a profusion of pills and potions that contain various medicinal herbs, vitamins and minerals. Some are proved safe and effective; many are not. Consumers spent more than $12 billion on natural supplements last year--nearly double the amount spent in 1994, and sales continue to grow at better than 10% a year. Shoppers can stock up not only at incense-scented tofu-and-sprouts shops but also at corner pharmacies...

Occasionally these can be distracting--it's hard to believe that these lines are coming from her own experience...
...that their confrontational and generally anti-social songs just don't provide them with ample opportunity to be amused by hearing themselves curse. The lyrics to "You Don't Know" consist almost solely of a string of insults, but really, except for the first two lines, they don't contain much actual profanity. And when, for example, in "Everything Is Cool," the band segues from a calm melody to a scream of, "I wish you were dead!" their language is clean. So, to make up for this deficiency, the band has added a hidden track--a little over 11 minutes...
