Toxic chemicals worm in Apple’s iPhone core
|
| Apple’s best-selling iPhone may be forced to carry an official health warning after being found to contain toxic chemicals. |
| Half of them tested positive for bromine, “suggesting widespread use” of brominated flame retardants; these are suspected of a range of threats to health, and the bromine itself can cause pollution when disposed of as waste. |
| our items also tested positive for antimony, a toxic mineral often used with flame retardants, and others contained very small amounts of chromium and lead. Chlorine was found in the plastic coating of the headphone cables, indicating the presence of PVC. |

If you really want to understand the book of Revelation, read this one.
| The Apocalypse Code: Find Out What the Bible REALLY Says About the End Times . . . and Why It Matters Today (Hardcover) |
| “Most of what you’ve heard, read or been told about the End Times is wrong,” says popular radio host and bestselling apologist, Hank Hanegraaff. “We have come to accept a wide range of beliefs and teachings about the future, about the ultimate battle between good and evil, about the last days, and about how our world will end. And most of these beliefs and teachings are based on fundamental misinterpretations of what the scriptures really say about the end times.” |

Interesting how isolated molecule in beer has health-promoting qualities.
| ANTI-CANCER COMPOUND IN BEER GAINING INTEREST |
CORVALLIS, Ore. – A compound found only in hops and the main product
they are used in – beer – has rapidly gained interest as a
micronutrient that might help prevent many types of cancer. |
Researchers at Oregon State University first discovered the
cancer-related properties of this flavonoid compound called xanthohumol
about 10 years ago. A recent publication by an OSU researcher in the
journal Phytochemistry outlines the range of findings made since then.
And many other scientists in programs around the world are also
beginning to look at the value of these hops flavonoids for everything
from preventing prostate or colon cancer to hormone replacement therapy
for women. |
