How much calcium are these women taking that it disrupts the ionic levels in their bloodstream? It'd have to be a whack of it...and acrylamide is in cooked organic materials subjected to high heat. So BOIL EVERYTHING! :) hee hee...In the lab I can't touch it with bare skin...but that is different. I don't think the levels of it in food are too high (llike the purified stuff I work with), so I'm not willing to eat boiled or raw foods all my life.<BR/><BR/>The tampon stun gun baffles me. Why a tampon? To keep your boyfriend from stealing it? Odd.<BR/>As for the Bunny Lava...you are evil!
