When making informed decisions about health products or procedures, it's important to consider?

It's very important to consider the Risk, Cost, and The Caution

-  Make sure consuming the product doesn't make you go bankrupt 

- You do not need to buy the well known products only, but you have to be careful ( at least make sure it followed the FDA's regulation)

An epidemic is a large and localized outbreak of a sickness or disease.  a pandemic is a large global outbreak of a sickness or disease.
