It’s disappointing that we live in a time where we still have to be vigilant of what we put into our mouths.  More than ever, this is not the time to put your guard down.  Seriously, becareful of what you eat, it might just kill you, give you explosive diarrhea, or vomit until you dry [...]

European researchers have found a way to increase the amount antioxidents in tomatoes. By splicing genes from the Snapdragon flower into the tomato, not only do the anthocyanin levels incease threefold, but also turn the tomato purple.

It’s time for some useless information for your brain.  Last week, I came across a video on a rare blue lobster discovery in Toronto, Canada.  It so happens that around one in every two million lobsters are blue.  The blue color is caused by a genetic defect that makes the lobster produce an overabundance of protein.  [...]

When you pop one of those delicious gummy bears in your mouth, just remember, there’s more than meets the eye. As made evident by artist Jason Freeny, you are a heartless human being. There’s more than just sugar and gelatin inside those innocent, sweet, and chewy gummy bears. As you can see, they are just [...]
