Skin and hair products may put pregnant women, babies at risk

"These everyday products that we think are safe may be actually harming us and our babies at a critical time during pregnancy."

The researchers found that chemicals called phenols and parabens may increase risk of hypertension and high blood pressure during pregnancy and pose a risk to the long-term health of mothers and their babies. These chemicals are commonly used as UV filters in body lotions, hand soaps, shampoos, and sunscreens, as well as to prevent the growth bacteria and mold in makeup and other cosmetics.

Phenols are aromatic organic compounds. As antioxidants, they play a huge role in defending our organism from harmful free radicals, which cause diseases, by neutralising them.

mildly panicked ask: i know pine bedding can be deadly, but what about pine wood used to build a hide? Regi has outgrown his large resin hide, and i bought a bigger hide and just discovered it's made of pine. before i put it in there... is it horrible? and i making a mistake here?

Yes, it can be quite bad, DO NOT put it into the cage. Phenols contained in pine wood work on contact, and your snekky kiddo will be in contact with it all day long, hiding in that pinewood box. So no, don’t put it in there. Return it, or throw it away, but don’t let your snake touch it.

Plants are increasingly explored as alternative sources for the development of safe, effective, and affordable drugs against various infections. Recent studies highlight that black rice (Oryza sativa L.), a nutrient-rich staple consumed by much of the global population, possesses infection-suppressing properties. Ancient palm-leaf manuscripts also document the use of black rice powder in Ayurvedic preparations. Inspired by this traditional knowledge, the present study investigates the medicinal potential of black rice seed powder. Accordingly, the proximate composition, nutritional properties, and preliminary phytochemical profile of the aqueous seed extract of black rice were analyzed to identify the types and diversity of phytochemicals present. Using water as the extraction solvent, the analysis revealed the presence of biologically active compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols and tannins.
