Is your Sunscreen Toxic?

A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reveals that 97% of Americans are contaminated with a common sunscreen ingredient called oxybenzone. This toxic chemical has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage, as well as low birth weight in babies whose mothers are exposed during pregnancy. 

Oxybenzone (also known as benzophenone-3) is a penetration enhancer, a chemical that helps other chemicals penetrate the skin. Although oxybenzone is most common in sunscreen, manufacturers also use the chemical in many other personal care products.

The FDA does not require UVA filters in sunscreens, and most manufacturers have never included them in their formulations. However, because of consumer demand and awareness, the number of sunscreens that block harmful UVA radiation more than doubled between summer 2008 and 2009, according to Environmental Working Group's (EWG) analysis.

More Americans than ever are using sunscreen to protect from sunburn and guard against skin cancer. Top choices include products with high SPF ratings, and that are waterproof or that advertise "broad spectrum" protection. Most people trust that the claims on the bottle will ensure that the product truly protects their health and their families', but this is just not the case.

SUNDURANCE™ Sunscreen is a new and revolutionary way to apply sunscreen to the skin through advanced Micro-Encapsulation Technology (MLT™). Scientists have succeeded in wrapping molecules of protective sunscreen chemicals in a microscopic silicate molecule. The molecule is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye, cannot be felt on the skin, and does not create sheen on the skin. When applied to the skin, these micro-molecules form a complete shield of protection on top of the skin while still allowing the skin to breathe.

The result is a sunscreen formula where the chemicals do not touch the skin, are not carcinogenic, and do not cause irritations. Most sunscreens without MLT use chemicals that are applied and absorbed directly into your skin. Virtually all of these chemicals have been demonstrated to have some level of toxicity to the skin. Due to this toxicity concern, it is not recommended that these types of skincare products be used on infants or on sensitive skin. These types of products may also demonstrate a strong chemical odor, and can even cause increased free radicals and oxidation damage to your skin.

Benefits of Sundurance™ MLT Sunscreen

• Maximum protection with minimal skin interaction.
• Non-irritating to the skin and eyes.
• Enhances skin coverage and increases SPF with less ingredients.
• Protects the skin from oxidation and free radical damage.
• Full UVA/UVB spectrum coverage.
• Top quality pharmaceutical grade active ingredients and 100% natural cream base.
• Optimum SPF formulation for highest coverage and safest use.
• Safe for use on infants and children.

Calcium is Critical for Maintaining Good Health

If you are 30 or older, you are losing it every day

Calcium is vital for bone health.  Both women and men will begin to lose 0.5-1% of their bone density or degree of bone mineralization per year starting around the age of 30. In women, the rate of loss will spike to 2-3% per year for the first 3 to 15 years following menopause.

Calcium is critical in all diets. Of all the minerals required by our bodies, calcium is the most prevalent.  The average adult body is comprised of 1.25 Kg (almost 3 pounds) of calcium.

Not only is calcium an integral part of the teeth and bones, where 99% of the calcium in the body is found, but it also helps the body: 

• form blood clots at the site of a wound
• aids in muscle and nerve function
• regulate blood pressure, required for normal heart beat
• cellular structure
• release certain hormones
• many enzyme reactions

Calcium is present in high amounts in a wide variety of foods, although most people get the majority of their calcium from just one group of foods - dairy products, and in particular, cow’s milk. As calcium often works alongside magnesium, it is useful to obtain calcium from sources that also include magnesium. This is not the case for milk.

In fact, calcium and magnesium work so closely together that, if there is an excess of one in the body, it will often lead to a reduction in the other, disturbing the natural balance. In addition to the presence of magnesium, it is beneficial that many of the other sources of calcium, such as seeds and nuts also contain essential fatty acids, which are also required for healthy brain, nerve, hormone and immune systems.  Calcium is also closely associated with and its absorption is dependent on Vitamin D.

According to the National Institute of Health, most people do not get enough calcium in their daily diet. Supplements are suggested as an alternative to meet their daily required intake.  

The most commonly used form of calcium is calcium carbonate, which is often derived from limestone or oyster shells.  This form of calcium is poorly absorbed and is often contaminated with poisonous lead.

E. Coli Mutation

E. COLI OUTBREAK IN EUROPE IS THE DEADLIEST IN HISTORY

 

The World Health Organization said that "The E. coli bacteria responsible for a mysterious outbreak in Europe that has left 18 people dead and sickened hundreds is a new strain that has never been seen before."  The new strain has "various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing."

Scientists sequencing the bacteria strains found in the outbreak said it was caused by "an entirely new super-toxic E. coli strain" that has several antibiotic resistant genes.

Sadly for those affected, it is not just about recovering from this type of infection; it is also about recovering from the treatment to end the infection.

The WHO recommends that to avoid food-borne illnesses people wash their hands before eating or cooking food, separating raw and cooked meat from other foods, thoroughly cooking food, and washing fruits and vegetables, especially if eaten raw. Experts also recommend peeling raw fruits and vegetables if possible.

The creation of Ai/E10 in 1993 resulted directly from the recognition of this problem.  We need to keep our immune function vibrant so we can respond as effectively as possible to these new challenges if we get caught-up in one of them.  The food chain is always at risk and we need to be alert to the dangers of contaminated food.  It doesn't just happen in apparent unsanitary places.  It can happen anywhere. 

If you are traveling this summer, or anytime, it is always a good idea to increase your daily use of Ai/E10.  Remember to "think immune." 

Natural Products Insider features Ai/E10

One of the dietary supplement industry's most respected publications, Natural Products Insider, featured Ai/E10 in a recent article, Immune Health: Gut Check, addressing dietary supplement ingredients for the support of immunity. You can read the article here.
