For all of us who watch what we eat and make a conscious effort to eat healthy, the abundance of diet “tips and tricks” could actually be counterproductive. Researching your foods and cooking methods well, for instance, is much more effective than blindly going for “healthy foods” at the grocery store. Products labeled as “healthy” because...
Codeine, promethazine, some clear soda, maybe add a Jolly Rancher, put it all together and you get Purple Drank, the liquid drug that rappers sing, drink, and occasionally die for.
