How To Keep Your Computer Screen From Frying Your Eyes

darinmaclachlan — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 11:47:15 +0000

Over the past few years I’ve spent long weeknights and weekends glued to the LCD fishing for clinical pearls, as it were, for the GreenMedInfo.com project. Admittedly, my eyes have been getting a bit “fried,” so I’ve been crossing my fingers in the hopes of finding something that can help reduce the damage associated with long-term exposure. I know I’m not alone here, as millions of folks out there are facing the same challenge, which makes me even happier to report that I have finally found something truly “evidence-based” that may help!

Beauty and body care products are continually being ousted as toxin-containing health destroyers. A recent study has added further cause for alarm, finding that 400 shades of popular lipstick contained lead. Of course the FDA is assuring consumers that this lead exposure is completely safe, failing to act once more regarding serious health threats lurking in consumer products. The FDA said that lipstick is not meant to be ingested, and is for topical use only. Therefore, it is ‘completely safe’.
