So i got a paper to write.

Its due at 1pm. Its 12:43am right now. So i got some time. However this is a bit challenging since i have not slept since around midday on saturday and been consuming dr00gz and having fun so my brain is working at liek a quarter cpu power rigt now. The paper should not be very hard to rush through once i settle on a topic and i figured if anyone feels so inclined as to throw out suggestions that they think would work nicely then maybe i can get the ball rolling on this thing faster.
The prompt is simple:
Quote:
. Find an advertisement or article in a magazine (not television) that makes a health-related claim (e.g., something about health, happiness, appearance, weight, etc.). What does the product claim to do, or what does the article suggest? Who is it aimed at? How effective do you think it is?
Then, you will investigate the empirical evidence for this claim. Find at least 3 scholarly journal articles (using PubMed or PsycINFO) studies on the topic. How are the studies done (e.g., who was the sample, how did they study the topic), what conclusions do they come to, and what limitations are presented? Compare the authors’ work to what is portrayed in the media. Is the media
So basically anything that comes to mind that is promoted by the media but may or may not be backed by solid research. I need to think of something that wouldnt be too boring to write about but also straight forward enough to get to the point.
May the blessed glory of five 's shine upon anyone that tried to help out.

Aspartame or saccharin as opposed to regular sugar? Should be plenty of research on that.

Keep em coming guys 
I was considering writing about the nagative portrayal by the media of cannabis and then discussing science-backed medical journals that show how it has all the different medical uses and benefits. Im now used to writing on likely contravercial topics like this tho, esp since i have no idea what my proff thinks of cannabis. It would be an easy topic for me to click into and get done tho. Tough call : /
