That Bryanboy story
Even though the issue has died down already, I promised to give my own take on the Bryanboy exposé which came out in Rogue magazine.I admit I was shocked when I read all the details but I found the Rogue article not exhaustive enough.

I like the whole concept of focusing on oats since as the owners say, oats are proven to prevent diabetes, high blood pressure and the build-up of cholesterol. Not to ... Continue Reading...
