A Plant Making DNA Disappears


DID YOU KNOW that betel (Piper betle) is the leaf of a vine, which includes pepper and kava. It is valued both as a mild stimulant and for its medicinal properties. Betel leaf is mostly consumed in Asia, and elsewhere in the world by some Asian emigrants, as betel quid or paan, with or without tobacco, in an addictive psycho-stimulating and euphoria-inducing formulation with adverse health effects.

Betel quid is a mild stimulant. People chew on it to get a boost. But when they do, it isolates the DNA from their saliva, making it appear as if the donor has no DNA.
