We had a big scandal during my 8th grade football season. That league was for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
Dietary Wellness To begin, I want to make it clear that I am not a dietician, and any of my thoughts on food and diets are based purely off of my own research and personal experience. I do, however, have many clients ask me about dietary things and about my own food habits.
Hydrogen Peroxide I don’t normally like to consider chemistry. Mostly because I don’t know the first thing about chemistry.
