And when they looked at all of the women in the survey from age 30 years on, those with the highest blood and urine measurements were six times more likely to be menopausal than women with lower readings. This is the tip of the iceberg, says Cooper, who stresses that the results dont prove that exposure to these chemicals causes early menopause, only that the two might be connected somehow. We need more longitudinal studies to better understand each of these chemicals. Previous studies have linked certain chemicals to disruptions in the reproductive hormones, including estrogen, which can then have unhealthy effects on the heart and bone. Whats concerning is the fact that with the majority of the chemicals, there isnt much women can do to reduce their exposure. Thats because each of the compounds have different half lives, or time in which they can linger before completely breaking down. While PCBs have been banned in the U.S. since the 1970s, for example, their long half lives mean people may still be exposed to them in the soil, air and water, and in through animals or other things that have contact with them. Women can try to reduce their exposure to some of these chemicals by using products that do not contain synthetic fragrancewhich is listed as fragrance or parfum and which contains phthalates. Women can also opt for organic beauty products, which would not contain pesticide residues and a number of other chemicals.

Anti-counterfeit and Brand Protection – Luxury Products, Beauty Products and Apparel: Potential synergies… — DUBLIN, January 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ —

PR Newswire

Levine, who graduated from Duke in 1995 with a degree in history and later became a lawyer, says she was the last person anyone would have expected to co-found the beauty non-profit known as the Beauty Bus Foundation. “I dont even wear makeup,” Levine said. “But Beauty Bus is about a lot more than just the treatments we provide. It’s about providing dignity for people who are dying. It’s about providing respite for caregivers. It’s about creating volunteers who are more understanding of people with disabilities and people who are sick and really breaking down barriers and creating a more compassionate society. Those are all the reasons I went to law school.” Levine and her cousin Alicia Marantz Liotta launched the Beauty Bus Foundation after Levine’s sister Melissa Marantz Nealy died at 28 from adegenerative neuromuscular disease. When Melissa became homebound due to the disease, Liotta scheduled hairstylists and makeup artists to visit Melissa. Those experiences changed Melissas affect — giving her happiness and even hope in the midst of great pain. Similarly, Levine says the Beauty Bus Foundation helps Moroccan Oil patients recover their self-image and their sense of dignity in the midst of illnesses that threaten to rob them of both. The Beauty Bus Foundation provides in-home beauty treatments and grooming services for patients and their caregivers in the Los Angeles area, sets up “pop-up” salons at non-profits and hospitals and has sent bags filled with pampering products (known as “bags of beauty”) to more than 15,000 patients and their caregivers across the country to date. Beauty Bus serves women, men and children — with their youngest client three years old all the way to 101. “We make them specific to the people we are sending them to,” Levine said.
