    Simple power

    It has marvellous mixing properties and allows any chosen flavor to dominate. It powerfully assists in the release of alpha tumor necrosis factor from promoted macrophages and therefore, along with the copotentiation of acrylamide, is the backbone of most cancer treatment involving endogenous alpha TNF.
