香水有毒,勿忘細看產品標示


香水的味道聞起來可能相當受人喜愛,但其中的成分很可能是有毒化學物質所組成的。不論那些浪漫的電視廣告如何暗示,製造香水及古龍水使用的成分並不止於天然香料及純粹的精油。

甲醛、甲苯、二氯甲烷、苯甲醛、石化成分及鄰苯二甲酸酯等都是香水中常見的成分,已經被指與廣泛的有害症狀有關,包括呼吸問題、神經系統問題、不孕 等生殖系統問題以及各種癌症。鄰苯二甲酸酯也會干擾內分泌系統。這些有害的影響對於兒童及胎兒衝擊最大;事實上,由於對於胎兒的負面影響,一般都會建議懷 孕女性避免使用香水。
此外,這些合成化學物質涵蓋的範圍並不止於你心愛的香水。「香氛」成分在空氣清新劑、清潔產品、乳液、化妝品、洗髮乳及甚至嬰兒用品當中皆經常能見到。然而在營業秘密法的保護之下,業者並不需要告知消費者所謂的「香氛」或是「香精」究竟是使用了哪些成分。
那麼要如何才能保護自己及家人?
當然是仔細閱讀成分標示,熟悉這些有害化學物質的名稱並避免購買含有這些成分的產品。一旦了解到經常使用這些產品實際上會對身體所造成的影響,你對於最愛的香水觀感可能就會產生大幅的轉變。每個人都想散發迷人的香味,但是如果是以自己及家人的健康為代價呢?
閱讀標示以進一步了解你噴灑在身上的產品中的成分,如果成分的標示不清,或是以籠統的香氛香料等名稱含糊帶過,那就要非常小心了!Skin Deep Cosmetics Database 是能夠提供香水成分查詢服務的網站,你會發現最知名的品牌也通常是最有害的。
主動了解使用的產品中所含的化學物質,一旦真正認識這些成分的面貌,你就不會再認為香水的味道迷人了。

How Biotech Corporations and GMO Crops are Threatening the Environment and Humankind Alike

Anthony Gucciardi
Activist Post

Through the mass genetic modification of nature via GMO crops, animals, biopesticides, and the mutated insects that are created as a result, mega biotechnology corporations are threatening the overall genetic integrity of the environment as well as all of humankind.

As the production and consumption of GMO crops continue to soar, it is becoming increasingly apparent that consumers worldwide are unknowingly participating as ‘test subjects’ in a massive experiment on the long-term effects of GMO crops and ingredients.

In fact, nearly 93% of US soybeans are genetically modified in order to resist powerful weed-killers that were found to be killing the actual soybeans as well as the weeds. So it turns out that the weedkiller was actually strong enough to kill the soybeans, yet it is considered safe for consumption. After the genetic alteration, these powerful weed-killers now simply drench the genetically modified soybeans. 


The Dangers of GMO Crops, Biopesticides, and the Threat of Mutation 
Besides the weed-killers, GMO crops themselves are also endangering your health even without pesticides. Shockingly, a review of 19 studies announced that consumption of GMO corn or soybeans may lead to significant organ disruptions in rats and mice – particularly in the liver and kidneys. The researchers also mentioned that GMO soybean and corn varieties contribute to “83% of the commercialized GMOs” that you may currently be consuming if you purchase conventional produce.

Following current trends, genetically modified food products will makeup the majority of the future food supply if a change is not made. Statistics show how GMO crops and ingredients have skyrocketed in even the past few years.

Of course organ disruption is not the only side effect of GMO consumption, or even the most startling.  The threat to nature, your body, and the entire ecosystem is what is the most concerning. Genetically modified mosquitoes, funded by the owner of 500,000 Monsanto shares, Bill Gates, were recently unleashed into the environment to freely interact with regular insects. Of course the release was touted as an amazing method of combating the growth of the mosquito population and the subsequent spread of disease.

The study involved about 19,000 genetically modified mosquitoes which were released in the Grand Cayman Islands over a 25-acre area for four weeks.

In addition to the genetically modified mosquitoes, other insects have actually developed mutations in response to Bt exposure — a toxin used in GMO crops as a biopesticide. As many as 8 populations of insects have developed resistance as a result, with 2 populations resistant to Bt sprays and at least 6 species resistant to Bt crops as a whole. So not only are the crops causing mutations, but as a result biotech scientists are now even further modifying Bt to be even more potent. In tests, however, the insects still were able to mutate and resist the disease.

Just as the scientists did not expect the insects to mutate to the point of complete immunity, there may be many other consequences as a result of GMO crops and biopesticides. And for what?

The very same study also took time to mention how alternative and sustainable forms of organic farming should be utilized. The study concludes that:
Alternative organic, sustainable methods of farming provide a realistic alternative, independent of reliance on agrobiotech corporations.
This is why nations around the world are banning and uprooting GMO crop fields, thereby putting an end to the genetic manipulation of the planet before the proverbial roots of genetically modified creations dig too deep. Hungary has led the charge, destroying 1000 acres of maize found to have been grown with genetically modified seeds. Peru has also passed a monumental 10-year ban on GMO foods.

Through spreading information and speaking out, GMO crops and biopesticides are being phased out and even banned in some countries. Even small amounts of activism can result in major geopolitical change.

Recently, over the past several months, several earthquake swarms have occurred in Colorado/New Mexico border, Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.

All of these swarms have been VERIFIED oil/fracking fields (FRAC well drilling) … seen simply by looking at satellite images of the areas .. for sure ‘frac’ drilling pads and oil wells within a mile at each of these above mentioned locations.

The past 24 hours, 11/5/2011 and 11/6/2011, over a dozen earthquakes rocked a “Fracking” field in central Oklahoma. One of the nearby roads to this quake epicenter is OIL road !
