As scientists unearthed the recent find, very dark blood flowed out from beneath the mammoth and the muscle tissue was red.

Comment Re:Apple Juice (Score 1) 412

What I was referring to was that some beverage producers are switching from HFCS to apple juice concentrate because people are don't want to eat HFCS. But for all we know the apple juice concentrate may be far more harmful if it comes from China with all their pollution. Presently there is no way to know what the country of origin of the apple juice concentrate was from, and in most cases it is mixed, USA, South America, Canada, and China. It least that is what I found out when I called juice companies to try and find out where they get their juice from. Some manufactures do put where the juice comes from, but it is at their choice.
