Ask Bruno Beam before
The only thing I have found on the internet is this nonsensical page
from google's cache
http://www.google.it/search?q=cache:...it&lr=&strip=1
I haven't understood a word that is written inside of it. Millions of
pop-us start (of which sites i don't know).
It looks like the usual terror information that keep going around the
net: cancerogenic components in shampoos, in toothpastes, etc.
When I will see a decent link about it I will begin to consider this
problem. In Cina they have been able to hide SARS, then it should be
something more dangerous than americium in tea the we don't know.
It sound to me like a coffee maniac revenge ehehe


.....oh, I don't like coffee too
