Bryan Cranston actually knows how to make meth!

Bryan Cranston has been praised to no end for his portrayal of cancer-ridden teacher turned meth cook. Part of what makes the show so successful is how real it feels, and with good reason: Bryan Cranston actually learned how to cook meth in preparation for the show!

The producers hired some DEA chemists to serve as consultants on the show. Part of what they showed the actors was the real process to cook meth. Although he implied it, Cranston said he didn't cook real meth, although hypothetically, it would've been really good.

Cooking the drug, as fans of the show know, is actually a very difficult process because there are so many volatile components that can explode and severely hurt the cook.

The word

Kissing is good for your teeth!

Although you might wanna be careful who you kiss, because they can transmit a number of diseases, kissing a healthy partner can be good for your teeth. There are a few reasons for this:

1. Everyone has bacteria in their saliva; about 80% is common to everyone, and 20% unique to each individual. When you exchange another healthy person's saliva, you are exchanging the 20% unique bacteria that they have in their mouth. This means that by exchanging saliva, you are being exposed, and become resistant to that 20% of unique bacteria!

2. Passionate kissing stimulates the flow of saliva. This neutralizes acids, and flushes away food particles, preventing tooth decay. More saliva also means that your mouth will be less dry, and dry mouths are more prone to infections.

3. Saliva helps rebuild tooth enamel, which further prevents tooth decay.

Honey is More Effective than Cough Syrup to Fight a Cough! Learn Why

Cough…cough…COUGH. Ugh. It seems like everybody is sick with something these days. You’ve heard about chicken soup, hand washing, vitamin C, and all the usual ways to keep healthy. But once you’ve caught the bug, there’s not much you can do other than wait it out with some tissues and a warm bed. Not even the over-the-counter medicine helps that hacking cough! We’re here to help. A recent study found that honey was more effective in treating a persistent cough than cough syrup.

105 children were involved in the study, and the results were overwhelming. Honey consistently scored better than cough syrup in all categories: decreasing cough frequency, lessening severity, and improving sleep quality. Of course, parents will want to consult with their child’s pediatrician before giving their little ones honey, but if given the go-head, it’s a unique (and natural) way to deal with that nasty cough that keeps the whole family up at night.
