If you bought Airborne, the popular herbal and vitamin formula originally touted as a cold preventive, you're due for a refund. The makers of Airborne have agreed to refund money to consumers as part of a $23 million settlement of a class-action lawsuit for false advertising. Initially, Airborne ads touted its line of products as a way to prevent and treat colds; Airborne later toned down those claims and now calls the formulas immune boosters.
St. Patrick's Day isn't just about wearing green. It's the holiday when many Americans make an extra effort to eat like the Irish.

But did you know that the most popular meat to serve at the big Sunday meal is … pork! So this St. Patrick’s Day, spice it up a bit and do something out of the ordinary. Just remember portion control, and go easy on the green beers. And for more health tips, just log onto stj.com.
