Oh my flavors! I was surprised we didn't get the classic "put that on a t-shirt" after that exclamation.

I was working on it! But after the lawyers were done adding all the necessary disclaimers, it will only be available in size 5XL and up . . .

THAT'S A PRANK JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN. . .

Alpha hydroxy acids are a group of natural acids found in foods. Alpha hydroxy acids include citric acid (found in citrus fruits), glycolic acid (found in sugar cane), lactic acid (found in sour milk), malic acid (found in apples), tartaric acid (found in grapes), and others.

Some people take malic acid by mouth with magnesium for treating pain and tenderness associated with fibromyalgia.

Likely Effective for:

• Treating sun damage when applied to the skin in a cream or lotion, but alpha hydroxy skin peels do not seem to work for this use.
• Treating dry skin when applied to the skin in a cream or lotion.

Possibly Effective for:

• Acne when applied to the skin in a cream or lotion.
• Acne scars when applied to the skin in a facial peel or lotion. Applying glycolic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid, as a facial peel or lotion seems to improve the appearance of acne scars. Applying 70% glycolic acid in a series of peels seems to work better than using 15% glycolic acid lotion daily. However, 15% glycolic acid lotion seems to be moderately effective in people who cannot tolerate facial peels.
• Reducing pain and tenderness caused by fibromyalgia when a specific alpha hydroxy acid, called malic acid, is used in combination with magnesium.
• Reducing the pigmentation associated with a skin disorder called melasma. Applying 10% glycolic acid as a lotion for 2 weeks followed by a facial peeling program using 50% glycolic acid every month for 3 consecutive months seems to reduce unwanted skin coloration in people with two of the three types of melasma, epidermal-type and mixed-type melasma. However, glycolic acid facial peels don’t seem to work for the third type of melasma, dermal-type melasma.

Insufficient Evidence for:

• Treating an inherited skin disorder that causes dry, scaly skin (ichthyosis).

• Other conditions.

Malic Acid (ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS) Side Effects & Safety

Alpha hydroxy acids at a concentration of 10% or less as a lotion or cream are LIKELY SAFE for most people when applied to the skin appropriately and as directed. In some people, alpha hydroxy acids can make the skin extra sensitive to sunlight. Be sure to use a sunscreen while using alpha hydroxy acid products.

Alpha hydroxy acids can also cause mild skin irritation, redness, swelling, itching, and skin discoloration.

Facial peels, lotions, and creams with a concentration greater than 10% should only be used under the supervision of a dermatologist. Facial peels can cause moderate to severe skin irritation, redness, and burning. Facial peels left on the skin for periods longer than recommended can cause severe burns to the skin.

When taken by mouth, the alpha hydroxy acid called malic acid is POSSIBLY SAFE when used short-term. Some people can have side effects including diarrhea, nausea, and general stomach discomfort.

Special Precautions & Warnings:

Pregnancy and breast-feeding: Alpha hydroxy creams at a concentration of 10% or less are LIKELY SAFE when applied to the skin during pregnancy and breast-feeding. But don’t take malic acid (the form of alpha hydroxy acids that is generally taken by mouth). Not enough is known about the safety of malic acid during pregnancy and breast-feeding.

Sensitive skin: Alpha hydroxy acids can worsen skin conditions by causing skin irritation and removal of the top layer of skin cells.

It was good to see Chase again. I wonder if he's now a full fledged member of the Krew instead of being the lowly college intern...

Pretty sure "Oh My Flavors!" has to be in the top ten best exclamations every made on GMM. Also, no, there was probably nothing "wrong" with the freeze dried pizza per se, i've had many freeze dried delights and they ALL taste like crap. Just sayin'.

The sentence "Oh my flavors!" just made my day. Happy 600! :D

Happy 600! I guess the new goal of dedicated MBs is to prove Rhett wrong and make it to the 6,000 mark with him. :P

So here's the math on this subject . . .

Looks like we'll be having one HUGE celebration sometime in the

Summer of 2037!
