Super Size Me

I just watched the documentary Super Size Me.  McDonald’s is bad for you, that is my opinion from this film.  It is right on par with Fahrenheit 9/11.  Everyone should see it, btw it got a guy who ‘no longer works for the Grocey Manufacuters of America’ Which translates to He got FIRED!, for saying that the GMA was part of the problem.

Distration on Comedy Central

There is a new show on Comedy Central called Distration.  It is a good game show.  You have to answer questions while you are distracted.  It is pretty good.

Hard Liquopr

Anyone know why Jack got suck with the 07 instead of 7?  Did Robby register his car first or something.  Is anyone going to change the official liquor now?

Triclosan

The latest rage in the arsenal of antibacterial chemicals, triclosan is included in detergents, dish soaps, laundry soaps, deodorants, cosmetics, lotions, creams, and toothpastes and mouthwashes. In 1998, Americans snatched up $540 million of these products, without proof that they even do what they claim.

But, is triclosan safe? The EPA registers it as a pesticide, giving it high scores as a risk to both human health and the environment. The USP recently proposed a new monograph for the specific testing of triclosan. It is a chlorinated aromatic, similar in molecular structure and chemical formula to some of the most toxic chemicals on earth: dioxins, PCB’s, and Agent Orange. Its manufacturing process may produce dioxin, a powerful hormone-disrupting chemical with toxic effects in the parts per trillion (one drop in 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools!). Hormone disruptors pose enormous long-term chronic health risks, because they interfere with the way hormones perform (such as changing genetic material, or fostering birth defects).

Triclosan is a chlorophenol, a class of chemicals suspected of causing cancer in humans. Externally, it can cause skin irritations, but since “….phenols can temporarily deactivate the sensory nerve endings….contact with [triclosan] often causes little or no pain”. “Internally, it can lead to cold sweats, circulatory collapse, convulsions, coma, and even death”. Stored in body fat, it can accumulate to toxic levels, damaging the liver, kidneys, and lungs, and can cause paralysis, sterility, suppression of immune function, brain hemorrhage, decreased fertility and sexual function, heart problems, and coma.”

Employing a strong antibiotic agent such as triclosan for everyday use is of questionable value, as it takes a shotgun approach to killing all microscopic organisms while also destroying the beneficial bacteria in the environment and in our bodies. These friendly bacteria cause no harm, and often produce beneficial effects, such as aiding metabolism and inhibiting the invasion of the harmful pathogens.

Boston-based microbiologist Laura McMurray and colleagues at the Tufts University School of Medicine, say that “triclosan is capable of forcing the emergency of ‘superbugs’ that it cannot kill. Experiments have shown that it may not be the all-out germ killer that scientists once thought it was….using triclosan daily in the home, in products ranging from children’s soaps to toothpaste to ‘germ-free’ cutting boards, may be unwise. In “New Products Feared Breeding Tougher Germs”, J.B. Verrengia says “Public health officials have blamed the indiscriminate prescription of antibiotics for the spread of drug-resistant bacteria. The Tufts study suggests the recent widespread use of antibacterial agents in everyday products might have similar results”. Doctors say that washing your hands with soap and water is the best preventative, and some doctors admit that including triclosan in the soap is an additional, unjustified expense; plain soap does just as well.

You be the judge if this item is safe for you and yours.  IT is a interstering topic.
