| Cholesterol is NOT the Cause of Heart Disease 5/28/05 |
Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease or any disease. If it becomes oxidized it can irritate/inflame tissues in which it is lodged in, such as the endothelium (lining of the arteries). This would be one of numerous causes of chronic inflammation that can injure the lining of arteries. However, many good fats are easily oxidized such as omega-3 fatty acids, but it does not mean that you should avoid it at all costs.
Common sense would indicate that we should avoid the oxidation (rancidity) of cholesterol and fatty acids and not get rid of important life-giving molecules. Using the same conventional medical thinking that is being used for cholesterol would lead one to believe that doctors should reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by taking out everybody's brain. |

For the first time, researchers have identified an association between pregnant women's exposure to a nearly ubiquitous class of chemicals known as phthalates and adverse effects on genital development in their male children.
The findings, reported in a study published today in the online edition of the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives, are the first to "support the hypothesis that prenatal phthalate exposure at environmental levels can adversely affect male reproductive development in humans.

| EPA halts study of pesticides' effects on kids |
WASHINGTON - A controversial program to pay parents to document the effects of pesticide exposure on their children was canceled Friday by the acting head of the Environmental Protection Agency, whose confirmation to the post has been jeopardized by the study.
At Johnson's confirmation hearing Wednesday, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., blasted the program and called on him to officially end it. But Johnson said he would not do so until the EPA received an independent review of the program, called the Children's Health Environmental Exposure Research Study — or CHEERS. |

| Testing times for 'killer' chemicals : HindustanTimes.com |
What do baby oil and vultures have in common? It's an easy one if you've been reading the papers. Both contain, literally, chemicals that were not tested for their wider effects.
Look at it this way. Baby oil, it turns out, has paraffin — which is not a product specially recommended for babies. |
