Did you know that Alexander the Great never lost a battle in his 15 years of conquest? He gained a reputation of leading his men to battle with impressive speed, allowing smaller forces to reach and break the enemy lines before his foes were ready. On another note, Kombucha has been claimed to treat serious conditions with no evidence to back it up. Everything from AIDS, cancer, and aging to arthritis and diabetes, great claims about kombucha’s healing qualities have been purported. It has, on the other hand, caused rare cases of fatalities. Considering its lack of scientific support for these outrageous claims, maybe give this "medicinal beverage" a miss next time you see it at your local grocer's. Lastly, polar bear livers have so much vitamin-A that they're dangerous. When hunted down by humans, the livers are buried or burned to prevent the hunter's dogs from eating them. So if you ever come across a polar bear liver when out on an expedition in the Arctic, make sure not to add it into your stew!
