Dr. Janet Woodcock, head of the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, said the contaminant is oversulfated condroitin sulfate, a chemical that does not occur naturally.

Condroitin sulfate is a natural compound that occurs widely and is used as a dietary supplement but the oversulfated version has not been widely studied.

not the best thread idea, but i had to memorialize this.

Methane found on exoplanet: this article in Dutch manages to spell exoplanet wrong three times (once in the url and twice in the article) and right only once.

A spokeswoman for the ruling African National Congress, Jessie Duarte, expressed his support for the march, saying the government had to work with communities to tackle violence.

"We believe that part of the solution is the unity of the people on the ground," he told the BBC.

"For this very reason we've asked people to revert back to the formation of street committees to root our criminals."

A few weeks ago I was watching the BBC News and they had Prince Harry being given a service medal by the Queen. His mother, apparently. Oh noes, we have forgotten Diana the Queen of all our hearts! I mean, seriously, even the juniorest of junior researchers must have known that was wrong, let alone the experienced reporter telling us this stuff.

Seattle and Illinois will be the first markets where Starbucks Corp. will roll out its new Via instant coffee, with stores in those markets selling the new brew starting March 3. Phoenix may have to wait until the fall.

Um, if it's instant, it's not "brew."

instant coffee is brewed. not when you stir a spoonful into water, but during production yes the coffee is actually brewed.

sorry

Even if instant coffee "brews," the usage is wrong because the stores will not be selling brewed instant coffee.
