cheddar is naturally orange. Actually,

cheddar becomes orange after the addition

of a carrot-based food coloring.

the year 2000 contained 323 million

white blood cells.

All other beverages combined for

By eating 82,125 more calories than

your body required to maintain your

current weight, you would gain 23 1/2

pounds in your hips, thighs, tummy and

butt. So much for low fat food

containing powerful bovine growth

hormones.
