How would you like to impress your friends, kids, neighbors or anyone that will listen with an “out of the box” acronym that has the added benefit of labeling a certain nutrient as SUPER healthy? This would be at a much loftier level than the established standards, i.e. PDQ (pretty darn quick), LOL (laugh out […]
