VERDUGO CITY, CA, May 18, 2012 (Press-News.org) Harmful ingredients masked in product labels affect the unaware
The National Skin Care Institute wants to warn consumers of the risk toxic products poise to their skin and overall general health. There is not enough transparency being seen from big brand names and consumers are often unaware of the harmful chemical ingredients contained in the products they are bringing into their homes and exposing their families to. The worst part is that many of these products are being marketed as safe for use on the smallest and most vulnerable of us all - babies.
Big brand name products: Dangerously toxic to the young
Recently in the spotlight for marketing chemical heavy products to mothers for use on their children are several top baby shampoo products. For those of you who may have purchased it unknowingly, just check the ingredients label. Look for two potentially cancer causing chemicals - dioxane and quaternion-15 that release formaldehyde. Big name laundry detergents are also popular with moms because it is marketed as a healthier choice over regular detergents. And although these top-selling laundry detergent names imply that they should be free of harsh chemical ingredients, the truth is it also contains problematic levels of dioxane. Those are just a few examples of potentially dangerous products, but as consumers begin to question the brands they have grown to trust more and more, other products will be exposed as harmful.
The point is, rather than directly point the fingers at these companies and outright name them, it is easier to just have you take a look and see for yourself the risks you have been taking with your children without knowing it. Having you take the time to inspect the labels for yourself, educates you and makes you more aware of what's out there and safe to buy. The fact is, most of you do check the ingredients labels of the food you eat. Unfortunately, now you need to do that with other household products just to ensure your family is safe from needless and potential cancer-causing toxins.
Products that destroy your skin's natural defenses
The overwhelming number of chemicals you and your skin come into contact with on a daily basis is down right scary. Your body has a natural skin barrier made up of skin cells and lipids(fats) that protects you, but with the constant bombardment of chemicals it undergoes your skin begins to become damaged. A damaged skin barrier can lead to anything from dry skin to eczema. The best way to protect yourself and your skin from these chemicals is to try and avoid them and the products they are in. However, this approach can be a hard feat to accomplish. Your second option is to use a new dermatologist recommended and developed skin care product shielding lotion.
Shielding lotions: How you can now protect the health of your skin
Shielding lotion is a totally new type of lotion designed with your skin in mind. Shielding lotions work with your skin to help strengthen and restore its own natural barrier, offering you and your skin greater protection from toxic chemicals and irritants. Shielding lotions are able to heal dry problematic skin by sealing in vital natural oils that keep your skin soft.
"Shielding lotions are lotions that form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that Shielding Lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams." --Dr. Brain Zogg, Board-Certified Dermatologist
Skin MD Natural is the top selling natural shielding lotion that uses only the finest quality ingredients. To learn more about how Skin MD Natural can heal your dry skin visit our website http://www.skinmdnatural.com.

IU research: Forest diversity from Canada to the sub-tropics influenced by family proximity
2012-05-18
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- How species diversity is maintained is a fundamental question in biology. In a new study, a team of Indiana University biologists has shown for the first time that diversity is influenced on a spatial scale of unparalleled scope, in part, by how well tree seedlings survive under their own parents.
Scientists have long considered conspecific negative density dependence (CNDD), a process where the mortality of a species rises in coincidence with its increasing abundance, to be a key mechanism maintaining diversity at the local scale. In new research ...

Southern pine beetle impacts on forest ecosystems
2012-05-18
OTTO, NC--Research by USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station (SRS) scientists shows that the impacts of recent outbreaks of southern pine beetle further degraded shortleaf pine-hardwood forest ecosystems in the southern Appalachian region. The authors suggest that cutting and burning these sites reduces heavy fuel loads, improves soil nutrient status, and opens the canopy for restoration of these shortleaf pine communities.
In an article published in the June issue of journal Forest Ecology and Management, research ecologist Katherine Elliott and fellow scientists ...

Tiny tool can play big role against tuberculosis, UF researcher finds
2012-05-18
A tiny filter could have a big impact around the world in the fight against tuberculosis. Using the traditional microscope-based diagnosis method as a starting point, a University of Florida lung disease specialist and colleagues in Brazil have devised a way to detect more cases of the bacterial infection.
"We're hopeful that this more sensitive method, which is both simple and inexpensive, will improve diagnosis in patients," said lead researcher Kevin Fennelly, M.D., M.P.H., an associate professor in the UF College of Medicine's department of medicine and Southeastern ...

PHILADELPHIA — Two studies led by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania and National Geographic's Genographic Project reveal new information about the migration patterns of the first humans to settle the Americas. The studies identify the historical relationships among various groups of Native American and First Nations peoples and present the first clear evidence of the genetic impact of the groups' cultural practices.
For many of these populations, this is the first time their genetics have been analyzed on a population scale. One study, published in the American ...
CSHL study uncovers a new exception to a decades-old rule about RNA splicing
2012-05-18
Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – There are always exceptions to a rule, even one that has prevailed for more than three decades, as demonstrated by a Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) study on RNA splicing, a cellular editing process. The rule-flaunting exception uncovered by the study concerns the way in which a newly produced RNA molecule is cut and pasted at precise locations called splice sites before being translated into protein.
"The discovery of this exception could impact current ideas on how missteps in splicing triggered by mutations in the DNA sequence can lead ...
Professor uses diamond to produce graphene quantum dots and nano-ribbons of controlled structure
2012-05-18
MANHATTAN, KAN. -- Kansas State University researchers have come closer to solving an old challenge of producing graphene quantum dots of controlled shape and size at large densities, which could revolutionize electronics and optoelectronics.
Vikas Berry, William H. Honstead professor of chemical engineering, has developed a novel process that uses a diamond knife to cleave graphite into graphite nanoblocks, which are precursors for graphene quantum dots. These nanoblocks are then exfoliated to produce ultrasmall sheets of carbon atoms of controlled shape and size.

Prompt Proofing Blog Post: Writing Tips - Be Active!
2012-05-18
As usual, on the third week of each month, we offer tips for effective business writing. This month our advice is - be active!
No, we're not suggesting you down tools and go for a run - though there might well be something to be said for that - we're talking about using the active voice rather than the passive in your business communications.
The active voice, where the subject of the sentence performs the action, is generally preferable (we will examine some possible exceptions later) since it makes your writing more powerful and infuses it with energy.
