Product Development Genius! so most lip balms contain petroleum, which, in the long run, dries out your lips all over again, making you practically addicted to their product. 
how "brilliant" is that?! produce something to remedy a condition that makes the condition actually worse, without you realizing that! what other consumer products are self-perpetuating?  | |

It is the same with artificial sweeteners- another product development genius. Makes you hungry and dehydrated- in turn making you eat & drink more..
Also has terrible chemicals in it that kill you but hey- at least it is not real sugar

yeah, haven't touched the stuff in years, and i used to definitely be addicted! Me neither! I had someone at the health food store give me some literature about it. It scared me so bad I have not touched it again. My husband kept telling me that it was causing my headaches- did not believe him until I saw the research reports. I know many ppl who are addicted to the stuff. I prefer to use organic non-processes raw sugar, unbleached, no chemical processing. I wish I could quit sugar but I have tried and I am not pleasant to be around without my sugar...  | |

I guess I should try that myself.. I could stand to lose some weight. Sugar is my only vice- well, except Prince!! | |

Isn't nasal spray like that too? In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular. |

we should eat some sugar though. there's nothing wrong with sugar itself, just don't overdo it. | |

i haven't heard about that, but it wouldn't surprise me! OTC nasal spray (other then the saline kind) are very bad for you also if used more then a few days. I also heard that skin lotions/moisturizers make your skin dry & thirsty in turn making you use more... 
Wouldn't surprise me! | |
