mtbc: maze B (white-black)
From the store Iceland some of the convenience food has a tomato-based sauce that tastes weirdly sweet. There is pressure on the government to reduce the sugar in people's diets. I wonder if such dishes may become more palatably savory; perhaps instead they may even get artificial sweeteners added.
mtbc: maze J (red-white)
We know that commonly used drugs can by some measures do more harm than good. For example, in the simple case of reducing one's fever it can be that a moderate fever was actually a good move in that the pathogen may have disliked it more than one's body did so reducing the fever can prolong the illness.

I am sometimes achy some hours after a good workout. My reading suggests that some moderate ache is fine and that if I simply continue exercising as normal then it soon improves. On a similar note to the fever example, I wonder if taking a painkiller for the achiness might also have the effect of impeding my muscles' process of repair and improvement ready for the next day.
