Inveterate Use Of Smartphones Will Damage Your Mental Health

I was born in 1974 and we got our first game console in 1979 and our second in 1980, then we got our first home computer, the Commodore 64, in 1982, followed by the Amiga 500 in 1986.

I guess this will be yet another perfect example of how ignorant the “scientific community” is of simple human physiology and biochemistry.

And no kind of “word play” as in rewriting polyphenols as poly-lean-ols will make it more believable. In that case, try calling it poly-poison-us instead. So, let’s see what they f**ked up this time.

Creatine? A Diet Higher In Animal Foods Decrease The Risk Of Cancer

Today we return to Examine and a summary of a “sneaky” study on “foods high in creatine” and their effect on cancer risk.
