<t>The fastest thing I've ever driven was my friends turbocharged Ford Ranger. This was a pickup truck with lowered suspension, wide low profile tires and Ford Thunderbird engine. I couldn't tell exactly how fast I was going but the speedometer was reading 70 although I was passing cars like they we...

<t>Knowing how to take vitamins and supplements is also important for absorption. Some are absorbed better on an empty stomach while others should be taken with a meal or other supplements (ie zinc and copper or iron and calcium). Otherwise the only thing you'll accomplish is peeing bright yellow or...

<t>The term genital herpes refers to the location the virus and not necessarily the type of virus. HSV1 and HSV2 are the types of herpes virus which cause outbreaks.

<t>The attack on trans fat (hydrogenated vegetable oils) may seem like the latest health craze but actually I was told of its dangers by one of my college professors more than 15 years ago. He mentioned that it causes dry mouth, a scratchy throat and will exacerbate the symptoms of hay fever. ...

<t>Well understand that I'm not asking for you to do anything about the past. Either you agree it was wrong or it wasn't.
