    Cbd Oil Vs Metformin

    interesting about the UK. I developed my own variation of cold whole plant extraction using 190-proof EtOH (oops, ethanol). But i doubt i can even afford all if what gear is needed fir CBD extraction. Nice that I'm perfectly legal here in California now. Just don't go overboard.

    Stir-Fry low the low carb way

    Hi Pipp, I too use coconut nut and when i wanna misbehave I'll use peanut oil. I never thought of brussel sprouts! That's genius. I usually just fry up a bit of bacon or use butter instead, add the sprouts a bit if salt, pepper and sometimes fresh garlic but my stomach doesn't handle garlic...
