As long as Costco’s Kirkland brand thick-sliced maple bacon isn’t associated with cancer, I’m O.K.
Glucosamine-Conjointen works great; I don’t care that some study says it doesn’t make a difference.
I think my mom told me she uses that for arthritis with similar good results.
Put down the bacon and step away from the pig

When I started using it a year ago at age 54 my knees hurt almost all the time. After two weeks, knee pain is no longer a problem.
Thanks Joe, now we ALL have cancer.
Tea? Think China. Think a billion people. What has tea drinking done to them?
I just put a spoon of sugar in it, no milk.
My father drank hot tea every morning of his adult life and recently died at age 93. I kind of thought it might have been one of the reasons he lived so long.
I’m nearly 61 years old, so there’s no hope for me under 0s healthcare plan.

Let’s send Obama some tea bags!
That was my understanding. Though I suppose very hot tea that irritates the esophageal lining by mild burning, could aggravate the effects of the tannins. IOW very hot black tea could well be worse than less hot black tea.
Possibly, I don’t know. I take my hot tea British, so I don’t worry about it. Otherwise I guzzle my iced black sweet tea like any other good Southern boy. I gave up coffee and tea for Lent and all I can say is Easter can’t get here fast enough! LOL!
Chondroitin works pretty well too.
Yeah, Iranians. They can be trusted...NOT.
We should have blasted the hell out of them years ago.
“I have been having a lot of trouble swallowing for about a year now.”
Forget the tea, all joking aside...if you are really having trouble swallowing go see your doctor. Unchecked esophagitis can lead to esophageal cancers. Seriously, go have this checked out.
Thank you. I will.
