There is a reason why a beverage from a bottle tastes slightly different - meaning - better. I can even taste the difference with water. As for Cancer, not to change the subject, but google - "Killing cancer" by Vice TV. The hope is there. Very inspiring.
I grew up in former eastern block. We did not have much. One of the hobbies was collecting foreign bottles and cans - hey it was colorful. The life was not colorful though. If it wasn't for Jesus, I would not be here today. God Bless!
