The reason so many people are showing a gluten allergy/intolerance is a fad propagated by social media. It has nothing to do with evolution - obviously - since it doesn't work in such a small time frame, and it has nothing to do w

This is a bad idea, when are you considered a criminal and when is the FBI/police allowed to take your DNA for testing? When they arrest you? When you are convicted? Convicted in the 1st instance? Upper court?

This doesn't make much sense. Amazon was a name given by the Europeans that colonized the place. Either they are fighting to keep the name of those they claim were their oppressors, or, more likely, this is just a stunt to get some att
