There are currently no federal limits for lead in cinnamon or other spices. But Enrico Dinges, a spokesperson for the FDA, says that even without a limit, the agency can take action against a product, such as issuing a health alert, if it learns the product has excessive levels either from the agency’s or a…
Those over-the-counter medications are effective in treating occasional tension headaches, says Rima Dafer, MD, a stroke and headache specialist at the Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. But ibuprofen is considered more effective and safer than acetaminophen and aspirin, according to a meta-analysis published in the Annals of Medicine in May this year. Aspirin and…
Dyson’s vacuums are top-tier for various reasons. They’re powerful, easy to maneuver, bagless, lightweight, and more. But a majority of these vacs are also very expensive. If you’ve been waiting for one to go on sale, you’re in luck. Right now (until December 31), you can get up to $200 off of one of its…
In my experience, no laundry detergent brand has hit the sweet spot between efficiency, performance, convenience, and eco-friendliness (most either lack strong ingredients or use harsh chemicals). For example, Earth Breeze eco-friendly laundry detergent sheets came up short on cleaning performance in both our lab tests and a home evaluation. Could Tide Evo do better?…

While that load is increasing, we plot the curve of the mattress’s deflection. The deflection at key points on this curve is then analyzed to determine a value that we then…
Video doorbells are great for keeping an eye on the entrance to your home, but what about your backyard? Or your driveway? To monitor those areas, you need outdoor security cameras. These security cameras are weatherproof, and most run on rechargeable batteries, allowing you to mount them almost anywhere, even to a tree (provided it’s…
These SUVs are also recent enough that their performance in our tests—such as those for acceleration, braking, and fuel economy—is on a par with brand-new models. Plus, many were available with active safety features such as forward collision warning (FCW), automatic emergency braking (AEB), and blind spot warning (BSW) as either standard or optional equipment….
They do have a hefty up-front cost. Most households need 11 kilowatts to cover their electricity needs, according to EnergySage, an alternative energy marketplace. After a 30 percent federal tax credit, the average cost to install a system of that capacity is $22,022. But over time, you can save tens of thousands of dollars on…
