Are generic drugs cheaper?
Not always, and not by as much as you might think. "If you check drugstore.com, the difference is huge--say, $30 for generic versus $200 for brand name," says Douglas Kamerow, M.D., chief scientist for RTI International, an independent research institute. "But if you have insurance, the difference may not be so big--maybe $3 versus $12." With some drug plans, brand-name meds may actually cost less than their generic equivalents. This happens, for example, when major ... Continue reading ...

On food labels, they base the percentages on a 2,000-calorie adult diet. So looking at the label above for two crackers, a grownup would see that they provide less than 1 gram of fiber, only 3% of the person’s daily needs. So that means he or she would have to eat other foods to get 100% of the fiber needed each day. Similarly, the person would see that the crackers provide nothing toward the daily goals for vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, or iron.Food labels aren’t ideal for kids because t... Continue reading ...
