Tummy Tub: Bathtub or Expensive Bucket?

Just watched a clip on msnbc.com about a relatively new product to the U.S. for babies called the Tummy Tub. Its a bathtub that apparently simulates the feeling of being the womb making bathtime a more enjoyable experience for baby and mommy, they retail for about $45.00 USD

While inventive, and maybe even effective, this product looks more like a see-through bucket! I personally would not spend $45.00 on a Tummy tub when my two year daughter does just fine with a bowl from the dollar store.

Just a matter of personal taste I suppose. It might work for you but for me, not so much!

Hydroxycut Recall: Weight Loss and Liver too?

As of today the FDA has recalled Hydroxycut Diet Aids. The recall was posted earlier today because of reported deaths, liver failure and many other serious health complications that occuring after prolonged usage.

The FDA cited at least 23 patients who experienced adverse reacations as a result of using this popular weight loss formulation and at least one person required a liver transplant!

Apparently users of the supplement were health before using Hyroxycut and took the recommended dosage. However, the formulation of the product has been changed over time, which has made it difficult to pinpoint which of the product's ingredients is responsible for the recent health hazard.

The question here I suppose is, weight loss at what cost? Are you willing to possibly lose your liver with those few extra pounds?
