Left Brain/Right Brain

Dear Right Brain,

Please quit screwing up our blog! I can't believe that post you wrote on April 19 about the La Mer skin cream. Do you even read what you're posting? Do I have to start reviewing everything you write on this blog?

The reader asked if those expensive products are any better than the drug store brands, and you responded in very generic terms regarding the fact that their ingredients didn't have any "magical" properties. Maybe that's true, but unless you specifically test their formulation you don't really know how performs, isn't that right?

It's one thing to make a judgment call just based on reviewing marketing claims, but if we're doing "real science" in this blog, then we'd damn well better make sure we're basing our judgments on sound scientific evidence.

I anxiously await your response.

Signed, Left Brain
