Although of course whether it's full or not has nothing to do with that

look at that narrow minded woman at 2:57. there is no bigger gravity pull from the moon. it only reflects more light. a moon would have to be closer to have any gravitational effect, but its going away each year by an inch.

If it isn't a carb, it is protein or fat and most things have all three. Hmmm...

I went on the Atkins diet and ate meats, chicken, cheese and a lot of low carb products. I drank only water. I lost about 15 pounds in 2-1/2 weeks. I don't think they did much research on that one.

Low carb products are scams, and still have quite some carbs lol. Just eat natural

I have been on low carbs (bread, pasta) and it does work. I also eat low calorie.

"[...] Either it is working or not it is still there [...]" WTF that means?

@Leobons stop pressuring him to lose his virginity, thats exactly what this guy was talking about

[ALucas73]

There is no way bagels can be low-carb. Lower carb, maybe, but lowcarb enough to fit into any definition of a lowcarb diet, you gotta be kidding.

see mythbusters should be doing myths like John Stossel. The myths that really matter and affect people. Not crap like "So one time my friend put petrol all over his ass cheeks and farted and tried to light it but nothing happened? Can you test this Jamie&Adam?"

the Moon? Seriously? Way to pick from low fruit Stossel.
