I wish the industry would quit fortifying wheat flour with folic acid. Thank you for informing your viewers that many of us don't easily convert it to a usable form. Eat beans and greens.

I really like a cold swimming pool. I feel invigorated. Can't wait to hear your findings/video about cold immersion.

[@jackschitt6235]

Aren't u concerned about the penis shrinkage becoming permanent?

[@TheStewieGriffinShow]

Our pool is kept 84° year round 24/7. The warmth invigorates me. I love being able to avoid the chill factor. To be frank, that temperature is wonderful year-round. 😂

​@jackschitt6235 I wouldn't think so, as far as I know, the name Judy belongs to females

[@judyheard6266]

@@jackschitt6235 the cold reduces inflammation. You should be concerned about that.

[@jackschitt6235]

@judyheard6266 U never responded to the concern about the penis shrinkage becoming permanent though.

There really is such a thing as kakadu plums. They are native to Australia.

2:20 0.3kg increase over 13 weeks (by adding 40g ontop of the rda) isnt that little actually if u train 6 days a week (as a beginner, who gains a lot of muscle still) ull gain ~700g muscle per month for advanced athletes thats about half that (350g per month) - so for advanced athletes these mere "0.3 kg" r actually 1 month worth over a 3ish month period (33% increase)
