Stephanie Strickland, reporter for KGW television news out of Portland, does a piece on the evening news titled: For Your Health. In her most recent revelation, she reports that researchers have now concluded that there is no supporting evidence to demonstrate that Glucosamine and Chondroitin loosens the joints, thereby relieving the affects of arthritic pain. Those who claim otherwise, it is suggested, are taken in by the placebo effect. In other words, since they “believe” that Glucosamine and Chondroitin works, it works “for them”.

Don’t you just love these revelations from Ms Strickland? Isn’t it wonderful how modern research proves one thing one day and the very next retracts its previous findings to conclude the exact opposite? Just between you and me… I’ve decided to use the Mute button on my remote whenever “For Your Health” comes on. Besides, it gives my thumb a good workout.
