Doctors Are Dumb

Now not all doctors are dumb but the ones that companies talk to in order to make their product seem “good” for you are probably dumb. I don’t know any so I can’t say for sure, but I’m going to go with gut on this.

I’m sure you have seen those commercials on TV, the most recent one I can think of is for “5 Hour Energy” where they say they talked to 3000 doctors about people using their product. It makes me laugh because everything she says doesn’t make sense. She says something like “We asked 3000 doctors is they would recommend 5 hour energy to their patients, and 73% said they would recommend it to their patients already taking a low calorie energy supplement” So basically if they are already taking energy inhancers they sure they might as well take 5 Hour Energy. Only 73% of them said they would? It’s supposed to be for energy right, it should be across the board!

Anyway, 20 years ago doctors said that cigarettes were good for you with the Camel tag line “”more doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette.” So it makes you think, what is going to kill us in 20 years that doctors are saying is ok now? Here’s what I found…

 

 

#1.)  Hand sanitizer.  By overusing hand sanitizer, you weaken your immune system.
#2.)  Frozen yogurt.  Between the chemicals involved and the probiotics messing with your natural digestive system, eating frozen yogurt has all sorts of ways to kill you.
#3.)  3-D TVs.  Watching TV isn’t great for your eyes . . . but watching a ton of 3-D is even worse.  So if 3-D becomes more popular, it could be a real problem.
#4.)  Cell phones.  There’s still no definitive answer on whether there are going to be long-term effects of having these things pressed against our brains . . . or in our pockets right by our genitalia.
#5.)  Running.  More evidence is coming out that building muscle is better for your long-term fitness than cardio like running . . . which actually cannibalizes some of your muscle.

I don’t know about you, but I’m really excited about #5!
