I'm an A/C, neither AA nor CC. Not a lot out there on that, some say "slow" is dominant, but that leaves me confused because I have none of the problems you've described and I drink 200-400mg of caffeine a day (mons

There’s a map that shows I lived near a hotspot. 10 mile road. I’m not sure testing is worth it the cost, even if it shows the water is contaminated, I don’t live there anymore, and I’d still have no recourse. There’s no possible outcome th

I grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan (worse actually, Rockford Mi, the wolverine HQ) and only moved away from the state at age 23 for work. (I grew up on well water in Kent county.) I was diagnosed with leukemia at 29, no family history, and

It's cute that you think you can get away with lying. You were biased and wrong. That's why. And also apparently too cowardly to admit it.
