Hmm, interesting.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It has been known for a long time that phenolic compounds affect bacterial growth/death. It will be interesting to see if they can isolate and describe the mechanism of action of the theorized compound(s) involved.

It will be interesting to see if the big pharma companies try to burn down all the maple trees.

I didn't know maple syrup was good for you. I guess I'll have to eat pancakes more often.
