1. What’s this study from Greece that 1 alcoholic drink unclogs your liver and boost your metabolism WHEN you DRINK IT A CERTAIN WAY? (Yes, more that than. If you are over 40 your liver will rejunvenate itself. BEST TO SIP the RED WINE, which is best for you. Depends on what prescriptions you are taking as well. Other factors come into play such as diet and exercise and age.)

3.j Is there any reason for all the fetal deaths in the U.S. these days? (The U.S. is one of the highest industrial nations when it comes to fetal deaths. Mostly in the poorer areas of the Southern U.S. MA., NH and CA have good fetal survival rates.)
