It is a pretty useless story that doesn't say anything new. Just what we've come to expect from the dolts in the science reporting department of the Associated Press. If you don't read it, you aren't missing anything.

My ex wife , a nutritionist
researcher at Harvard, born in

"pudding recipe" :
One bowl, one chunk of aluminum,
one metal-worker's 'mill file'. !!
Ya, use the file to create a pile
of aluminum metal 'gravel' in the
bottom of the bowl" ...
