I’m sure its either 1 or 4.
Well I know that vitamin k really does work for under eye circles and I googled vitamin k brussel sprouts and they are high in vitamin k so I am going with the first one! Also all of the other ones are made from animals so vegans would not like that most people buying natural prefer plants I think.
I’m going with #4!
@Kathleen: Lol, you have to pick one! No fair guessing twice.
@Rozy: No fair using Google to help you get the right answer!
It sounds like 4…
I’m going to say #5.
Bee venom sounds real, #4 for me, tho I am not a botox kinda girl.
#4 for me! I think I’ve read about something like that a loooong time ago.
#2! Crushed worms!
Here are the answers to this week’s game. Either you guys are getting smarter or I’m making the questions easier because most of you guessed the right answer. Just wait until next week!!
1. Covering your eyes with Vitamin K rich Brussels sprouts can reduce dark circles.
False but doctors are concerned that the Vitamin K in Brussels sprouts can counteract blood thinning medication.

2. Crushed worms can be used as a disgusting, but effective, skin moisturizing cream.
False but dietary experts say that worm are are more sustainable form of protein than beef. (I can’t wait to see what McDonalds does this this!)

4. Bee sting venom may be the new Botox because it can tighten skin and reduce wrinkles.
True, at least according to this BBC news report. I’m skeptical this really works and there doesn’t seem to be any evidence to back it up. Still, this story was reported in the news!

5. The “goo” that helps mussels and barnacles stick together has been used to create a revolutionary new hair styling system.
False, but mussel “goo” is being investigated as a medical adhesive that could mend blood vessels.
