The primary flavor found in any old-fashioned homemade root beer recipe is sassafras, a deciduous tree native to North America. The characteristic sweet flavor comes from the treeâs roots, thus giving us the name root beer. Incidentally, the treeâs leaves give us file powder which is the essential thickening agent in classic gumbo. Now of course, the primary flavor we associate with root beer is that of wintergreen, not of sassafras.

How Does the Biological Clock Work? What You Were Born With. Remember, women are born with all the eggs they are ever going to have, and they donât make any new eggs during their lifetime.

As a teenager, a woman has only three hundred thousand to four hundred thousand remaining eggs, and from that point on, approximately one thousand eggs are destined to die each month.
