Specialists did not intend to investigatethe effect of water on children. Who can think that a crystal clear two oh can harm?

And the spread of asthma on the planet is uneven: in the APR countries, it is more often sick, in the south of Europe - less often.

We think that this is because they were deprived of beneficial microbes. This was unexpected, because we are used to thinking that everything clean is good and right.

And save all these 300 million people who are forced to live hugging an inhaler. Read in the next article:
