The “health drink” industry tops billions of dollars each year of our money; but, very little of it is the best there is. And the best there is needs only to cost you very little if anything – and doesn’t come in a package of any kind, especially those that depend on the oil or chemical industry.
Watching this video will show just how available this drink is, how little it costs and how much it will help your body.
How long has it been now since there was a big deal made by the press about cell phone use causing cancer? Ten years? More? I honestly don’t remember; but, it’s been quite awhile. And what was the Answer? Did they ever say?
