I read the other day that a cup of cocoa lawers blood pressure. With Syria on the horizon, we all need that.
lawers = lowers
People experiment a lot. I had a friend who owned a health food store, and he said that some people would buy a quart jar of chopped garlic a week.
Puzzled, I asked “Restaurant?”
And he said, no, that while watching TV in the evening, they would snack on spoonfuls of raw garlic. Then he remarked that it was probably really good for their blood pressure.
“Why’s that?”, I asked.
“No kids”, he replied.
