I looked up cortisol on the internet and got so bored that I started reading about cocaine instead. Did you know that until the first World War, Coca-Cola really did have cocaine in it? (I thought that was a myth.) You could walk right into Harrod's and buy some; Freud loved the stuff. Coca leaves are still used to flavor Coca-Cola, but the leaves aren't imported until the drug has been removed from them.
Also, did you know that crack is just cocaine cooked with baking soda? The mixture makes a cracking sound when it heats up, hence the name.
I didn't know any of that.
I will probably make another attempt to look up cortisol today, if I don't get side-tracked again.
