I'm so glad to hear that I have been doing myself good all these years.

Excellent :)

It's also good for brain tissue, healthy hair. warding off virus, alzheimer's and ingrowing toenail. :P And I don't believe the mumbo jumbo often quoted about liver problems.

There again, at 49 I've still got some coverage, better than my father, younger brother and most of my (male) cousins....
