A bad news regarding a girl, who passed away due to carbon monoxide poisoning.It happened when she lighted an aromatheraputic candle for the night in a room with air-conditioning on and all windows closed.
Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully oxidized & thus forming dangerous carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting the person dozing off to state of unconsciousness & eventually death in less than 1 hour, depending on the room size. Be aware of such danger when lighting aromatheraputic candles in any unventilated rooms.

Come and share this info for your knowledge when you go shopping for lipstick next time.Just keep this in mind. If there you care anything about, sharing this with others ,to all your girlfriends, wives and female family .
Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK.
If the higher of lead content in the lipsticks there fore the greater chance of causing cancer.
After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick contained the most amount of lead.
Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead.
Here is the test you can do yourself:
1. Put some lipstick on your hand.

then you know the lipstick contains lead.

Drugs For Cough And Cold Too Risky For Toddlers.
United States warns about drugs for cough and cold .The medicines too risky for toddlers.Parents should not give sniffling babies and toddlers over- the- counter cough and cold medicines – they’ re too risky for tots so small.
The FDA is issuing a public health advisory to warn parents to avoid these drugs for children under age two “because serious and potentially life –threatening side effects can occur.”
It not the first warning about cold remedies and tots: Drugs companies last October quit selling dozens of visions targeted specifically to babies and toddlers.
The same month, the FDA'S own scientific advisers voted that the drugs don’t even work in small children and shouldn’t be used in preschoolers, either –anyone under age six.
They may still have infant-targeted drugs at home, or they may buy drugs meant for older children to give to hacking tots instead, said Dr Charles Ganley, FDA’s non-prescription drugs chief.“We still have a concern.” Ganley Said.”It falls out of people’s consciousness. We’re still in the middle of cold season right now.”Ganley added that he is particularly concerned by recent surveys that suggest many parents don’t believe OTC cold remedies could pose a problem, especially if they’ve used them with an older child who seemed to get better.

Think About This To Get Better Mind:
At least 5 people in this world love you so much, they would die for you
The only reason anyone would ever hate you, is because they want to be just like you.
A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.
Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.
Without you, someone may not be living. You are special and unique, in your own way.
Someone that you don't know even exists, loves you.
When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.
When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look, you most likely turned your back on the world.
When you think you have no chance at getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, you probably sooner or later will get it.
Always remember complements you received, forget about the rude remarks.
Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.
If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they're great.

Cheap or Cheat Sale
A cheap sale by some other name as "Best Value ","Best Buy","Star Buy", "Hot Value","Hot Offer","Great Deals","Budget Corner","Stock clearance","Value Buys","Special Price" and so forth.They are not considered as goods being sold at cheap sale
Consumers should not be taken in by the many cheap sale promotions because they can turn out to be costly.The consumer may have noticed that only one price is advertised for the products.Since there is no comparisons of old and new prices .
In order not to be taken in by any cheap sales promotion,consumers should have a good idea of the prices of the goods especially those that they regularly purchase.Then they can judge whether the sale price is a genuine discount

Food that leads to infertility risks
WOMEN who consume low-fat milk and yoghurt may find it harder to become pregnant, a new study has found.
A team at Harvard School of Public Health found that women who eat a lot of low-fat foods were 85 per cent more likely to suffer from a failure to ovulate.
Women who had a least one serving a day of a high-fat dairy food were 27 per cent less likely to suffer from this from of infertility than were those who consumed high-fat dairy food only once a week.
The finding suggests that the obsession with low-fat foods, driven by nutritionists trying to protect against heart disease and by consumers trying to lose weight, may have a downside.
Anovulatory infertility – the type studied here – is just one of a variety of ways in which infertility can be caused. In the population studied, it was responsible for one in eight cases of a failure to conceive.
The data comes from the Nurses’ Study, a long – running research project.
