I am really at a loss for understanding yet another positive acupuncture study that was as well designed as my 8th grade science fair project. Indrømmet, I was a nerdy science kid, but I could do a better job drunk. I think I should conduct a followup study in which I test the . . . → Læs mere: Medicinsk Forskning til Science Fair

Ming Myte

I love Ming Tsai and his cooking empire as much as the next 3-am TV viewer. Faktisk, his recipes are fantastic and you should make them yourself.
