We all came across some of these, or maybe not, at some point in our lives either we were searching for them or not but truth is supplements are a daily product we come across, either inside our food or in a more direct form, things like vitamins, plants and another whole array of things that supposedly are good for us.

No matter how many and how much brands, people and whatever more comes along try to sell these to you promising great results, and quick too, it's always worth taking a look at what is it that you're really falling for and if it works. So, I thought this was a very useful Infograph it's simple, colorful and actually educational. So basically it shows how popular something and places it among a scale of proven effects backed by evidences.

Some things are worth noticing, mainly that it seems that people are actually making informed choices and that's quite simply great! The supplements with the higher demand volume are, for the great part, ones with the most proven evidence of their effects! Sure there are still some stray cats but nothing really bad I mean there seems to be some evidence for Goji and Ginseng, popular natural products from the East, so it's nothing really bad and could actually help people even if it's just a sort of placebo.

It is actually pretty nice to see such a distribution of interest meaning people in general don't seem that much dumb as some marketers and shady sellers on the internet think they are, promising everything and then more. A proof that informed consumers do indeed make better choices.

Alcohol when drank in moderate doses can help in things like confidence, relaxing, loosening up a bit in social environments. Speaking by experience it helped me achieve some things but, and there's always a but to it, I lost many others and made myself look like a fool some other times.


It would be a nice trade off if it was only just a question of social silliness and appearing like a clown, it goes deeper than that more specifically health and related subjects. This Infograph here is quite explanatory of such problems derived from too much alcohol ingestion. It's astonishing to see how it can make so much damage, not only to men but women too.


For example let's take into account the effects on sexual related organs and systems, it interferes with the some of the core things that makes a man, well, a man, reproductive system, impotence, infertility, reduced beard and chest hair! Well, I don't know about others out there but I like my beard and chest hair thank you! One other scary fact is that 90% of the alcohol consumed by youth under 21 is bing drinks! Now this is worrying, although I was once part of such statistics life taught me that it wasn't good to be on the 90% side and seeing this value so high makes me wonder where's the control most of the time and where's the education by parents to at least "scare" youths to be a little less inconsiderate of their own health.

Car crashes and accidents in general, due to alcohol are a daily thing still avoidable and perfectly idiotic to still occur. As for women statistics showing how drinking too much is, even though not in a direct way, responsible for spreading STD's is another concerning thing, specially in this day and age when so much time, money and resources is spent on awareness.
