Don’t Be Blue – The Future's so Bright You Gotta Wear BLUE Shades

The Huffington Post cites a prior show on The Doctors where they “discuss how wearing blue tinted sunglasses or eating off of blue plates can suppress appetite.”

The reason experts featured in the segment said, “is that in nature there are no real blue foods, besides blueberries.”

On that note, is it too good to be true, or is it time to change the lyrics to the Timbuk 3 1986 classic:

There may be sunglass science
Not for dark glasses
It may sound crazy to wear blue glasses
Things will be great, and you’ll only get thinner
Your diet will go all right, and you’ll lose weight
The future will be bright, if you wear blue shades
