"There's no credible evidence that what's in Airborne can prevent colds or protect you from a germy environment," David Schardt, a nutritionist at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said in a written statement this week. "Airborne is basically an overpriced, run-of-the-mill vitamin pill that's been cleverly, but deceptively, marketed."
Apparently Airborne just settled a class-action lawsuit for $23 million. I don't know whether to be happy for the plaintiffs (because lord knows Airborne has made a fortune off of this herbal Alka-Seltzer), or bonk them over the head for being a bunch of morons. There is NO cure/vaccine/whatever for the common cold. How many times does the CDC have to tell you? Take some DayQuil and drink some tea cuz you're going to have to ride it out like the rest of us.
(I actually yoinked the quote from Perez, but here's an article from a reputable news source.)
