Facts on Cucumbers

Nov 30, 2009

Dear Dr. Tachmes:

I've been getting some odd looks lately when I go out to restaurants and ask for slices of cucumber in my water instead of the usual lemon. I have just been craving cucumbers for some reason. Even ice cold with lemon juice and cracked pepper is a new quick snack. This led one of my good friends to send me an email with a list of facts/things cucumbers are useful for, it's pretty funny so I thought I would pass it along.

Dear Dr. Tachmes,

I have heard a rumor that when a person gets liposuction, they are removing healthy fat cells. As a result, fat deposits begin to appear in various other parts of the body that they would not have otherwise. Is that true?
