Phred,

I see the humor, only this "miracle-bullshit" research is being pushed on
humans in the news as if they're safe NOW for us to consume. They're still
in the mouse research phases for God's sake. And THEY STILL CAUSE CANCER!!!

Wait until the Mountain Dew crew after decades of drinking brominated
vegetable oil start dropping dead.

Friggin' medical science Kreatives strike again.

Reminding you again that you have a friend at the CDC. NOT!!!
