Pine Bark Extract

Pine Bark Extract

The thought sometimes crosses my mind, if ever so fleetingly, that being as open as I am with the ingredients in my bars and powders is a two-edged sword. Sure, it give you a very transparent view, but it also lets every manufacturer on the planet of ingredients I use think that I am a prospective customer. It’s only fleetingly because sometimes I find things worthy of investigating. For instance this just in on the value of the Pine Bark Extract I use in my top bar and powders:

This looks like the way to go…
Brazilian farmer Ernst Gotsch bought 1,200 acres of completely deforested land on the edge of the rainforest in 1984. Check out our video of the week to see how he worked with nature to transform the land into an incredibly biodiverse working farm capable of feeding people and reversing climate change through sequestering carbon:

Whom the gods love by Margaret E. Bruner

“Whom the gods love die young,” I used to quote
Glibly, but in the rather thoughtless way,
One says a thing that he has learned by rote,
Not knowing the meaning which the words convey
For then I thought it meant they died when young
In years, and this no doubt is often true;
But now with time a clearer note has rung
New meaning to the words; there are a few
Whom time can never age—not even with years;
These keep a dream, nor let its flame burn low…
They look ahead, beyond regrets and tears—
Old age is something they can never know.
