Since 2006 there has been a large body of scientific evidence showing the gut microbiota is interlinked with obesity and other metabolic conditions including type 2 diabetes. Probiotics are live micro-organisms that confer health benefits to the host and prebiotics are fibers that selectively improve the growth of beneficial gut microbes. Previous animal studies have […]

Childhood leukaemia is a major cause of death and suffering in kids today. While chemical exposure has been linked with increased rates of leukaemia this study also shows a strong link with low folic acid levels in mums and increased rates. Folic acid and its derivates, known as folates, are chemoprotective micronutrients of great interest […]

In the past few decades, synthetic fragrance compounds have become ubiquitous components of personal care and household cleaning products. Overwhelming consumerism trends have led to the excess usage of these chemicals. It has been observed that this fragrance-laden unhealthy lifestyle runs parallel with the unprecedented rates of diabetes, cancer, neural ailments, teratogenicity, and transgender instances. […]

Studies have found around 15 chemicals that are positively associated with younger menopausal age and the two major culprits were phthalates found in everyday makeup and personal care products. Of the 13 chemicals the strongest influence was 3.8 years younger for mono-(2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl)phthalate, compared with less-exposed women. Another study found a link between early menopause and […]

Two hundred scientists any benefits of triclosan and triclocarban—used in some soaps, toothpastes, detergents, paints, carpets—are outweighed by the risk. While other studies and the FDA in the US say there is no benefit from using these ingredients over basic soap and cleaning products. these two chemicals have been used for years without any definitive […]

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a high-production-volume chemical that is used to produce polycarbonate plastics and resins used in some food can linings and other consumer products around the home and everyone is exposed predominantly from their diet. There is growing evidence that prenatal BPA exposure increases the risk of neurobehavioral disorders in children. Some experimental […]

Increasing evidence has suggested a protective role of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome (MetS). In this study of 1790 workers, ages 18 to 69 y, an inverse trend was observed between vitamin D (25(OH)D) and MetS.The higher the vitamin D the lower the risk of Metabolic Syndrome. So get out into the sun. A number […]

Quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) are antimicrobial disinfectants commonly used in commercial and household settings and everyone is virtually exposed to these chemicals every day. Two common quaternary ammonium compounds, alkyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride (ADBAC) and didecyldimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC), are combined in common cleaners and disinfectants. In this study introduction of a cleaner containing ADBAC+DDAC in […]
