  3. I have bought the Health Valley can of potato leek soup and it tastes so great. So apparently I love the taste of potatoes and leeks together.

    On my Google page, it has my Twitter page and that has a collection of the 11 best vegan dishes that this one group could find.

    Also the doctor of public health at Moores Cancer Center (also professor of medicine at U of CA) said that enough vitamin D (lifeguard levels) will eradicate breast cancer. Also my blog post (also on Twitter page) on it has Dr Oz and Christaine Northrup M.D. talking about vitamin D preventing breast cancer.
