OK! This may not be a licence to pig out on sugar yet!

But it is EXciting!

Our job is to stay as healthy as possible until a cure is found! 

Call me a dreamer but I believe that will be in the next 10-15 Years!

I will do my best to be here for that!

And that means NO SMOKING!

Wow, really interesting article, not sure what the source of this particular sugar would be...some sort of supplement? I would LOVE to see more progress made in the treatment of COPD, we know that the best prevention is not exposing ourselves to the toxins in cigarette smoke as well as other sources.

I am so glad that I am an EX!

Hmmm, sounds like a breakthrough, at least with the model models, and it is a molecule (or portion thereof) that can be synthesized, good stuff.  I have no doubt you will be on the front lines and see a "new" treatment in your lifetime!

Wow!
