Of course not! said Magic about the long time rumor that he had a cure for the HIV virus. The only cure for HIV is a condom, or abstinence and let's be honest these young folks are gonna do what they want to do.. Fake Report! Well folks, Magic Johnson still has HIV.
Cork is the bark of an oak tree known botanically as quercus suber. The tree is an evergreen that grows only in areas bordering the Mediterranean. Portugal represents approximately 50% of the world's cork output, Spain accounts for 25% and the remainder comes from Algeria, France, Morocco, Italy and Tunisia.
Cork is harvested on a sustainable basis and the stripping of the bark does not harm the tree in any way. The bark grows back completely, taking on a smoother texture after each harvest. A cork oak tree can be safely harvested up to 20 times during its life cycle, making cork a truly inexhaustible natural resource.
