Slow Death By Rubber Duck Webinar April 6, 2010, 5pm PT/8pm ET Free; RSVP required

Please join us for our next book club Webinar, featuring the “fascinating and frightening,” “cheeky” and “hard-hitting” new book, Slow Death By Rubber Duck. RSVP now for this free Webinar (which, by the way, is an interactive presentation over the phone and online) on Tuesday, April 6 at 5 p.m. Pacific/8 p.m. Eastern.

Studies show that harmful toxic chemicals are common in household items, including rubber ducks and bubble bath, and that many of these chemicals are also found inside of our bodies. Over a four-day period, Slow Death By Rubber Duck authors Rick Smith and Bruce Lourie used every day household products suspected of causing harm to our ecosystem and to human health. By revealing the pollution load in their bodies before and after the experiment, Rick and Bruce tell a unique inside story of common toxins and body burden.

On the April 6  Webinar, author and Executive Director of Environmental Defence Canada Rick Smith will read from Slow Death By Rubber Duck, and together we’ll discuss toxic chemicals found in products as common as hand soap and what you can do to protect your family and the planet.

When you purchase the book through this Amazon link, 10% of the sale goes back to Environmental Defence, the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics’ partner in cross-border safe cosmetics work.

All you need to join is a phone, a computer with Internet access and an interest in making the world less toxic.  Simply RSVP online, and we’ll e-mail you the call-in info and the Web address so you can see the slides during the reading and discussion. Please forward this e-mail to others who might be interested - the more the merrier!

Can’t make the Webinar on April 6? No worries – we’re going to record it and make it available through a link on our Web site later on. You could even play the Webinar at your own in-person book club event!

Thanks for your interest, and for spreading the word about the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

Study commissioned by environmental group finds high levels of chemicals in U.S. minority infants

By Sara Goodman

U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.

The Environmental Working Group’s study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.

“We know the developing fetus is one of the most vulnerable populations, if not the most vulnerable, to environmental exposure,” said Anila Jacobs, EWG senior scientist. “Their organ systems aren’t mature and their detox methods are not in place, so cord blood gives us a good picture of exposure during this most vulnerable time of life.”

Of particular concern to Jacobs: 21 newly detected contaminants, including the controversial plastics additive bisphenol A, or BPA, which mimics estrogen and has been shown to cause developmental problems and precancerous growth in animals. Last month, researchers reported that male Chinese factory workers exposed to high levels of the chemical experienced erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems.

“BPA is a really important finding because people are really aware about its potential toxicity,” Jacobs told reporters. “This is the first study to find BPA in umbilical cord blood, and it correlates with national data on it.”

Jacobs said the study focused on minority children to show that chemical exposure is ubiquitous, building on 2005 research on cord blood from 10 anonymous babies. That study found a similar body burden among the babies. This is the first study to look at chemicals in minority newborns.

“Minority groups may have increased exposure to certain chemicals, but here we didn’t focus on those chemicals,” Jacobs said. “The sample size is too small to see major differences, but we want to increase awareness about chemical exposures.”

Leo Trasande, co-director of the Children’s Environmental Health Center at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said the findings, while preliminary, show that minority communities are often disproportionately affected by chemical exposure. Trasande was not involved in the EWG study.

“Presently, minority communities suffer from a host of chronic disorders, and disproportionate chemical exposures may contribute significantly to the origins of the disparities that exist,” Trasande said.

Both he and Jacobs said the findings add momentum for the call to revamp the Toxic Substances Control Act, or TSCA, the law regulating the more than 80,000 chemicals on its database. They released the report on the same day that a Senate panel is scheduled to discuss the government’s strategy for managing the tens of thousands of chemicals in the marketplace with an eye toward overhauling TSCA.

TSCA does not require most chemicals to be tested for safety before they are approved for widespread use. Because of this, Trasande said, less than half of the 3,000 high-production volume chemicals on the marketplace have toxicity data, and less than one-fifth have toxicity testing data on the effects on developing organs.

Trivani’s Products Carries A ’Do No Harm’ Philosophy, Meaning Trivani’s Products Are Free Of Ingredients That Can Cause Harm

Martha Belury, Ph.D. “Just a modest amount of oil had a profound effect.”

In fact, a mere 2 tsp. of safflower oil a day worked for folks with the world’s most stubborn ab fat: postmenopausal women with Type 2 diabetes. These belly-fat-prone  ladies saw their tummies steadily shrink throughout OSU testing–and yet they didn’t cut a single calorie or ad a single workout.

WHY IT WORKS
*It revs up your fat-burning! The OSU team found that safflower oil increases production of adiponectin, a hormone that signals the body to use fat for fuel. For reasons scientists don’t yet understand in the case of women taking safflower oil, this extra fat burning seems to target midsections the most.

IT BLOCKS YOUR BELLY FAT HORMONES
Adiponecin has also been found to help the body make less insulin, a blood-sugar hormone that stores extra carbs we eat as belly fat. Better insulin control almost always means a flatter tummy, say pros.
BONUS: “Improving your insulin response can impact your appetite, so you naturally want to east less,” Belury adds.

YOU BURN OFF FATTENING FOODS FASTER!
Increased adiponectin levels may improve the body’s ability to burn dietary fats, adds Belury. “Your body does two things with fat: It stores it or burns it. Obviously, you don’t want to store fat,” she says. “An increase in burning dietary fat will help you lose weight.

GO FOR IT!
Adding safflower oil to your daily regimen “is subtle change and an inexpensive one, yet it can make a real difference in your body and in your over all health,” promises Belury. You really have nothing to lose—except belly fat!

IT KILLED MY CRAVINGS!
I had more energy and was never hungry.  I took safflower oil by the spoonful! The oil is tasteless, so it went down fine!

(1. ) IT OUTSMARTS HEART TROUBLE!
Safflower oil is rich in linoleic acid, a healthy monounsaturated fat. Get it regularly and, researchers say, you could cut your risk of heart disease by 45%.

(2.) IT HELPS STOP STROKES
Japanese scientists found that each 5% increase in consumption of linoleic acid reduces the likelihood you’ll have a stroke by 28%!

(3.) IT TARGESTS CHOLESTEROL!
A university of Souther California study found that safflower supplements trigger quick, dramatic reductions in cholesterol levels for about 50% of people tested.

SAFFLOWER OIL FAQ’S

A.) WHERE TO GET SAFFLOWER OIL?
Liquid safflower ooil is about $5.00 for 32 oz. at grocery and health-food stores. Another option: Solgar Safflower Oil softgels, about $15.00 for 100 gels at Amazon.com

B.) HOW MUCH DO I TAKE EXACTLY?
To match the dose used in the OSU study, you need 8 g. of safflower oil a day. That means 7 Solgar softgels or 2 tsp. of liquid oil daily. If you opt for liquid oil, take it by the spoonful like any liquid medicine or, as a tasty alternative, add it to food or use it for cooking.

C.) I FOUND CLA SUPPLEMENTS THAT SAY THEY’RE MADE FROM SAFFLOWER OIL…WILL THOSE WORK?

CLA is often derived from safflower oil, but it’s processed in a way that makes its chemical structure different. The OSU study actually compared CLA to regular safflower oil, and pure safflower oil proved to be more effective at triggering belly fat loss.
