  • Heating Vegetable Oil to Frying Temps Forms Toxic Compound

    New research by a University of Minnesota professor and a graduate student shows that when highly unsaturated vegetable oils are heated at frying temperature (365 F) for extended periods–or even for half an hour–a highly toxic compound, HNE (4-hydroxy-trans-2-nonenal) forms in the oil.

    A. Saari Csallany, professor of food chemistry and nutritional biochemistry at U. of Minn. said “HNE is a well known, highly toxic compound that is easily absorbed from the diet.

    The toxicity arises because the compound is highly reactive with proteins, nucleic acids–DNA and RNA–and other biomolec ...

You feel like you can't live with yourself one more minute until you find out what is going on ... suddenly, the potential threat to the relationship becomes the most important thing in the world ... more important than eating, working or concentrating on tasks at hand. More important than ... living life itself.

  • More Ways to Deal With Acne

    The “cures” for acne vary dependant on the type and severity of acne. The truth is, there is currently no cure for acne, only treatments. Some people have success treating their acne with over the counter topical medications, and others require a combination of prescription oral and topical treatments. These medications treat the symptoms of acne (the inflammation) and help to prevent future breakouts but do not address the cause of acne.

    There are several commonly known contributors to acne outbreaks and most of these conditions can be controlled.

  • Facial Exercises - A New Trend in Non-Surgical Facial Toning

    There is a moment in everyone’s life, when you notice for the first time, (it may be for some around your 35th birthday), wrinkles and sagginess on your face. These may appear as a result of stress-filled days, good and bad personal experiences, genetics and a host of other factors influencing your life.

  • Hair Loss Factors
    What are the factors that contribute to hair loss? I know I have friends and relative that have suffered hair loss, but they are so different. As I checked into it farther, I found that there are a lot of factors that can contribute to hair loss. Some are natural and others are not caused by natural factors. It seems that there are as many hair loss factors as there are individuals. However, there are some main factors that contribute to a majority of cases.


    Perhaps the most common factor in hair loss is genetics. Likely when you hear the words “hair loss,” you think of male pattern ...
