A possible molecular mechanism explaining the protective effect of coffee against type 2 diabetes has been discovered. The biological activity of estrogen and testosterone, the sex hormones of the body, which are believed to play a part in type 2 diabetes development are regulated by a protein known as SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin). And it… Read More »
Globally, MRSA infection rates are dynamic and vary year to year. If the product is safe for the surface.
