Time To Take-out Triclosan

I already talked about triclosan here. Well in a new study triclosan causes liver fibrosis and promotes cancerous liver tumors. The value of having triclosan in products such as anti-bacterial soaps, toothpastes and shampoos seems be of no benefit.


The FDA is giving manufacturers until next year to prove that triclosan will do more good than harm. Problem is that if they just remove it from the soap, it will still be out there in other products that come in contact with any part of our bodies.




UPDATE:


Triclosan causes liver fibroses and promotes liver tumors.

When it comes to working out, safety should be a given. The proper execution of beneficial exercises and knowing the exercises that do more harm or are useless will help you reap the rewards. I've had to eliminate exercises, and also change my execution because I was doing it wrong. Here are exercises that can do more harm than good.

The Island

A failure to any health regiment comes to those who go at it alone. Aside from the fact that one can fail, there is also the danger of getting hurt. It is to your benefit to be safe and involve others in your fitness quest.

Many tend to go at it alone and not see a doctor regularly. I saw a man who didn't believe in doctors and when it came to his overall health, he went at it alone. He took his supplements, ate healthy, and was at the gym everyday for hours. You might say he was a health nut who was obsessed with exercising. He died in the gym, while exercising. Without a doctor, he wasn't aware of any real underlying health issues.

A danger that doesn't seem to hit home judging by the usage is people using pre-workout supplements containing DMAA. I don't doubt that in most workout and sports competitions where someone dies, a pre-workout supplement containing DMAA was involved.

Of course sometimes you have no choice but to go at it alone. But in any case, be safe!
