This one is an interesting one &#8212; so good that I submitted it to the folks at the Gastropod Podcast as an idea for a future episode. The question: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theawl.com\/2016\/03\/the-vast-bay-leaf-conspiracy\">Do Bay Leaves actually do anything in a recipe<\/a>?

What is interesting is what they are adding: &#8220;fresh fruit, non-GMO and gluten-free products and house-made\u00a0bread&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water and Tea<\/strong>. Speaking of fruit, here&#8217;s some no nonsense advice: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vox.com\/2016\/3\/25\/11305614\/soda-juice-energy-drink-consumption-nutrition\">fruit juice isn&#8217;t much better for you than soda<\/a>.
