Regularly washing your hands and wearing masks, gloves, and gowns are said to be more effective the medicine when it comes to preventing the spread of diseases, like SARS and the flu.

A report states that there are evidence which suggest that the use of vaccines and antiviral drugs will be insuffiecient to interrupt the spread of influenza. Handwashing with just soap and water is one of the most effective way to prevent or lessen the spread of respiratory viruses.

Drinking too little milk and having few exposure to sunlight and exercise can affect children. In fact, it can lead to anti-bone trifecta, which eventually results in rickets.

This can be prevented, thanks to research that shows the normal bone density for children of various ages.

Also, data shows that even a ten percent deficit in bone mass after adolescent years can increase risks of having osteoporosis and fractures as high as 50 percent, and this is according to the president of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.

I came across an article that mentioned lipstick manufactured in the US alone contains extremely high levels of lead, and this is according to a new study by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

61 percent of 33 name-brand lipsticks tested in September contained lead levels ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million. The article also mentioned one-third of the lipsticks had more lead than the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s 0.1 parts per million limit for lead in candy.

Although lipstick is ingested directly into your body, the FDA has not set a lead limit for the cosmetic.

Lead is a known neurotoxin that can cause learning, language, and behavioral problems, cross the placenta and interfere with normal fetal development, as well as possibly cause infertility and miscarriage.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is calling for cosmetics makers to remove lead from their products, and for the FDA to strictly regulate personal care products. Good thing I don’t wear make up except for special occasions.

A Turkish boy and a Saudi Arabian one will switch homes four years later after a hospital gave them to wrong parents!! 

They are currently trying to find out who is responsible to make sure that something like this will not happen again.

Saudi health authorities were reluctant to accept the Turkish
father’s claim that his son Yacoub was not his and DNA tests which were carried
out this week proved that he was right.

Published images show a distinctly Saudi-looking Yacoub. The father of the other child, who is Saudi Arabian, had no inkling that the pale-skinned child was not his. He will press a 50
million riyal ($13 million) compensation claim against the health
ministry.
