With texts like this being disclosed, I am surprised that any communications at this level are still happening over surveilled networks.

Hmm, did not know that EGCG affects conformation of the adenosine receptor [^1]. To clarify, are you saying you're taking only cacao + EGCG to manage your ADHD? How about 90% Lindt dark chocolate as cacao source? Do you then stack L-DO

Prediction: the Google brand will be shut down at some point to make room for a brand that won’t have the stigma of shutting down products. Or a new Alphabet venture arm will be spun out so Google can buy them.
