The Villains Coming to Stargirl in Season 2

admin

The CW runaway hit series Stargirl’s first season was praised for how many complex and lesser-known villains from the DC Comics universe got a chance to challenge Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) aka Stargirl and her new Justice Society of America (JSA). Season 2 is scheduled to up the ante by bringing back many of the fan-favorite bad guys from season 1 while also introducing even bigger threats for Stargirl and the JSA.

My colleague Alex Berezow at the American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) has a skill for writing efficiently about complex issues like COVID-19 and health care.

But since we don’t live in a keto-friendly world, the call of carb-rich fare — from healthy options, like fruit, yogurt and oatmeal to less healthy foods, like pizza, French fries and dessert — can make it hard to stick with the keto diet. Even if you’re not craving carbs, a normal social activity, like dinner at a friend’s house, can pose problems. Enter keto cycling. In this fairly new approach, you cycle on and…
