Reality Bites

Ontario doctors want to make junk food a little less appetizing.

The Ontario Medical Association wants graphic warning labels - similar to the kind found on cigarette packages - attached to pop cans and other junk foods.

Robyn speaks with one woman who has struggled with obesity and worries the labels will mean more bullying and harrasment of obese people.  Then she turns to our Reality Bites columnist for his take on the need for  graphic warnings. 

 

The labelling on Centrum vitamins will soon undergo a change in the United States.
The drug company Pfizer had claimed Centrum supplements could support bone, eye and colon health -- when in fact, there's no evidence they do.
A consumer health watchdog called Pfizer on this in the U-S.
Which raises the question: if it's misleading to push the health benefits of vitamins...Why do we take them?
Our Reality Bites columnist Dr. Yoni Freedhoff gives his two cents.
