9 Cancer-Causers That You Must Remove From Your Home

Given poor government regulation, many of the cleaning products available on the market contain “everyday” carcinogens such as formaldehyde, nitrobenzene, methylene chloride, and napthelene, as well as reproductive toxins and hormone disruptors. Not to mention other ingredients that cause liver, kidney and brain damage, allergies and asthma. But there are a host of products, other than those used for basic cleaning, that often contain carcinogenics. This list, from Cancer: 101 Solutions to a Preventable Epidemic (New Society Publishers, 2007) by Liz Armstrong et al, cautions against 9 household products, in addition to cleaners, that you should avoid having in your house. 1. Air fresheners: Often contain napthelene and formaldehyde. Try zeolite or natural fragrances from essential oils. 2. Art supplies: Epoxy and rubber cement glues, acrylic paints and solvents, and permanent markers often contain carcinogens. 3. Automotive supplies: Most are toxic. Keep them safely away from the house and dispose of at a hazardous waste disposal center. 4. Candles: Avoid artificially scented paraffin candles that produce combustion by-products, including soot. Beeswax only, with cotton wicks. 5. Carpet and upholstery shampoos: Use only wet-clean, natural ingredients. 6. Dry-cleaning: Choose clothes that don’t need perchlorethylene to clean them. Ask for the wet-cleaning option at you local cleaners, or seek dry-cleaners that use liquid CO2 or citrus juice cleaners. 7. Flea, tick and lice control: Avoid lindane-based pesticides. 8. Paints and varnishes: Always chose low- or no-VOCs (volatile organic compounds) finishes. 9. Microwaves: Never microwave or heat food in a plastic container. posted by: Patt Ogar

Nigerian Student Makes History In Turkish University. Obatains 4.0 CGPA Out Of 4.0

A genius is a person who is exceptionally intelligent or creative, either generally or in some particular respect. If that be the case, then, Tunji Olu-Taiwo, an Engineering student of Eastern Mediterranean University in the Turkish Republic of North Cyprus, may be called one. He has never missed a point in his examinations from first year in the university to the final year? He obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average of 4.0 out of 4.0, the first ever in the department.

Tunji Olu-Taiwo has continued to receive encomiums from various quarters, due to his impressive performance which has placed him in the spotlight. Over the years, Nigeria’s human resources have proven to be among the best in the world partly due to the profound efforts of critical-minded parents that stimulate the astuteness that hides within every student. Tunji Olu-Taiwo, who hails from Ifako-Ijaye Local Government Area of Lagos State, emerged the best graduating student from the Faculty of Engineering, obtaining a status of High Honours (first class). Tunji is the first African to have bagged such an uncommon status in the Department of Engineering, obtaining a degree in Engineering on a Grade Point Average of 4.00 out of 4.00 (straight A’s).

Bra that Can Detect Breast Cancer Soon to be Available for Sale at N.16 Million

Lifeline Biotechnologies, an American based company, has invented a “smart bra” called First Warning Systems which could help women discover if they have breast cancer.

The bra, which is based on a novel breast health screening device and method could become available in Europe in 2013 and then in the United States of America in 2014, for US$ 1,000 (N160,000) for a pair. Preliminary studies with First Warning Systems were conducted in more than 650 women, resulting in an average detection of at least 90 percent. Compared with the standard mammogram, the tests averaged 70 percent accuracy. In a release, by Biotechnologies, the medical technology company licensing the bra observed that the First Warning System is capable not only identifying breast tissue abnormalities at their earliest stages, but can also identify the general location of such abnormalities in three dimensions to each of the four quadrants of each breast. The release continues: “It is, therefore, not intended as an additional step in the breast cancer screening process, but as an accurate identifier of early breast abnormalities which generate heat via the presence of new blood vessels that nourish the area in question.
