However, they left quite a few beans in their jeans which fell out in the washer, unnoticed. The dark, damp environment created the perfect medium for sprouting beans.

Since Deb says no popcorn tales... let's just say, when you're sitting in the theater, getting ready to dig in to that box of popcorn and the Holy Spirit's still small voice interrupts the previews with a warning to grab your friend and pray over what you're eating, don't ignore Him!

Did it help? Nope. Cholesterol went up. Now after trying several disasterous medications, I read another study that says the body makes cholesterol to battle inflammation. What causes inflammation? Too many sugars. What do you eat when you stop eating meats? Too many sugars. Ugh!!! Who to believe?
