Comments
Yeah it's weird how people prefer eating some trash like McDonald's but don't eat any of the food on this list
Partly because people are uninformed but also because they are too lazy to change something
A bit harsh, but sure... it is kinda true
I wonder what a "boosted" immune system will do....probably give you lupus or ankylosing spondylitis or celiac disease or rheumatoid arthritis or Guillain-Barre syndrome or any of 100 other autoimmune diseases. A really really 'boosted' immune system gives rise to a deadly cytokine storm so good luck with that.
