Claims may be true, but they're still hype http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1257519.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1257519.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT Q: What are your thoughts on these new expensive creams that claim to have ''stem cells'' in them?

Add some spice to your summer http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1140745.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/health/leslie-baumann/story/1140745.html Wed, 15 Jul 2009 03:01 EDT Summer is the time to spice it up.
