But don't run out and french kiss a lizard just yet

From the London Telegraph...

Diabetes sufferers could avoid complications including heart disease, kidney failure and blindness thanks to a new drug based on the spit of a giant poisonous lizard.

Can we say, "Eeiioo!"

I made a concoction for my kids when they were little of one cup water to two teaspoons blackstrap molasses. We called it Cricket Spit, because it really looked like it. The kids loved it when they were toddlers, but about the age of two on, they stopped liking it. It made a nice, nutritious, electrolyte drink. And because blackstrap molasses is essentially all of the good stuff God put in sugar cane after they've taken the white sugar out, they seemed to do well on it. Now we use milk instead of water, and one of my kids will drink that.

But real lizard spit. Ich!
