Naringenin, Muffy. It's good for you. It helps repair your DNA. DNA is like a set of directions. The words have to be spelled right, or they don't make sense. Naringenin fixes spelling mistakes in DNA. grin.gif Edited by catbirdseat

Speaking of bitterness, here's a story. There is a company in Yakima called Yakima Chief which uses supercritical CO2 to extract pure hop oils from the flowers. This stuff is super concentrated. It takes an itty bitty quantity of this stuff to brew beer.

 

We received a one ounce sample for testing in the lab. My friend Ward, for some reason, took a finger and wiped it over the surface of the yellowish paste and applied it to his tongue. You should have seen his face. He said it was the most intense bitter taste he'd ever experienced. It took hours before it went away.

OH!

 

I've got a good "crazy old skool scientist" story.

 

A guy in my department (who happens to be somewhat famous in the climbing/mountaineering community as well) was once tasked with synthesizing and purifying some metabolites to a particular drug. Rather than synthesize the stuff conventionally using organic chemistry techniques, he decided to just take the drug personally, let his liver and kidneys make the metabolites, collect his own urine, and isolate the metabolites out of it.

 

Worked like a charm supposedly and with fringe benefits!
