Date: 2022-12-17 09:32 am (UTC)I keep reading Semi Glug #10
Date: 2022-12-17 02:44 am (UTC)The big red flag for me is the expectation that the fat will all return once the person stops glugging their semi. So, it is not rectifying whatever metabolism issues are fat-prone - so what *is* it doing aside from slowing food transition through the intestine suite, and nauseating the taker?
Also - my understanding is that the drug taker has to stab themselves in the belly (above the button, I think) to take Semi Glug. Argh.
I shall wait and see.
