So they have just published a report looking at changes in what are called methylation patterns, looking at the changes in the markers on human trial, human DNA over time in people who are consuming this HTB, Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat. And really some phenomenal results. Interesting.

When I was in fifth grade, I used to ride my bike to the National Hurricane Center in Coral Gables, and they had all these displays about what... How does a hurricane form?
