☆ Uncover: The Kenya skincare brand targeting African skin

Uncover – a startup founded by three women in Kenya in 2020 – wants this to change. It has developed a range of cosmetics that serve the needs of African women, says Sneha Mehta, the company’s CEO and co-founder. Jade Oyateru, the startup’s COO and co-founder, explains that while demand for sunscreen is growing among African women, they often complain that it leaves a ghostly white layer on their skin. The African identity carries through to the product’s ingredients, with each one containing a plant grown on the continent. Pan-African skincareUrbanization and a young population are some of main drivers behind the booming African beauty market, but there is still a big gap in knowledge, says Uncover’s Oyateru.

☆ What is aspartame and what do the new WHO rulings mean?
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +4 min

Discovered in 1965 by American chemist James Schlatter, aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than regular table sugar. One group of experts, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), said aspartame is a "possible carcinogen". For aspartame, this limit is 40 milligrams of aspartame per kilogram of body weight per day. Aspartame's use in food products has been debated for decades and has also prompted some companies to remove the compound from their products. PepsiCo (PEP.O) removed aspartame from Diet Pepsi in 2015 but brought it back a year later.

Aspartame is one of the world's most popular sweeteners, used in products from Coca-Cola diet sodas to Mars' Extra chewing gum. In its first declaration on the additive, announced early on Friday, the Lyon-based International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) said aspartame was a "possible carcinogen". Several scientists not associated with the reviews said the evidence linking aspartame to cancer is weak. There was also some limited evidence that aspartame has some chemical properties that are linked to cancer, the IARC said. Scientists with no links to the WHO reviews said the evidence that aspartame caused cancer was weak.

Reuters reported last month that the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization (WHO), known as the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), was set to make that declaration on July 14, according to two sources with knowledge of the process. The designation as "possibly carcinogenic to humans" will provide an incentive to fund more rigorous research into the safety question, toxicology and cancer experts say. "We have been pushing for an IARC review for many years now." But no action was taken until 2022, after aspartame was again nominated for review by CSPI and Melnick in 2019. The research body has said "new evidence" prompted its aspartame review, without giving any details.

☆ Arsurile solare, un pericol pentru copii; Expunerea prelungită poate conduce la apariția cancerului de piele

Sursa foto: Facebook/Diana Munteanu-CovilaArsurile solare, un pericol pentru copii; Expunerea prelungită poate conduce la apariția cancerului de pieleArsurile solare, în special la copiii mici sunt extrem de periculoase, deoarece pot avea efecte devastatoare la maturitate. Potrivit specialiștilor, arsurile solare cresc riscul de cancer de piele, iată de ce este important să le oferim maximă protecție și grijă. Cu cât suntem mai aproape de zona ecuatorială, cu atât mai mare este riscul de arsuri solare”, a mai adăugat medicul. Expunerea prelungită la soare conduce și la deshidratarea organismului prin transpirație excesivă și lipsa unui aport mărit de lichide. Un alt aspect important este aplicarea unei cantități suficiente de cremă SPF pentru a atinge nivelul recomandat de protecție”, a mai spus medicul dermatolog-cosmetolog.
