It helps in preventing damage by free radicals which might other wise lead to some forms of cancer, heart disease, cataract and premature ageing. Eating papaya can also help prevent blindness caused by a deficiency in vitamin A. (This is the most common cause of blindness in India.) However, if eaten in excess, it can cause the yellowing of palms and skin known as carotenemia. Raw papaya contains no beta- carotene. Half a medium-sized fruit will provide an adult’s daily requirement of vitamin C as well as supply small amounts of calcium and iron. Raw papaya contains large amounts of vitamin C.

The fruit is also known to have laxative properties because of its mucilageneous fibre. Contrary to popular belief, pregnant women need not avoid papaya for the fear of miscarriages. Rather it is a unique, wholesome and easily digestible fruit. What’s more is that papaya is an excellent choice for those suffering from digestive ailments, dyspeptic patients and convalescing individuals. Being low on calories, high on fibre and water content, as well as high on nutrition, it makes for wholesome eating with high satiety for weight watchers.

Raw papaya is a rich source of papain which is plant pepsin (an enzyme produced in animals to digest protein). Papain is capable of digesting protein in acid, alkaline or neutral mediums while animal pepsin requires an acidic medium. Because of this property, raw papaya is used to tenderise meats and is widely used by the food industry as a tenderiser. In some preliminary research, patients with coeliac disease, who could not digest wheat protein (gluten), have had benefits when treated with papain. However, many more clinical trials would be needed to justify its use in coeliac disease.

Papain also exhibits pain relieving properties, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its medical use in spinal injections in order to ease the discomfort of slipped discs. Juice of green, raw papaya is also used externally to improve complexion and treat skin blemishes. Some studies also suggest anti-candida effects (fungal infection) and anti-bacterial effects. These may aid the treatment of a candida infection and in wound healing and ulcer treatment. A recent study published in Journal of Medicinal Food found that papain has anti-ulcer properties too. The papain extracts significantly reduced the ulcer index in the experimental model.

Scientists have found that the black seeds of papaya contain, in traces, a toxic substance called carpine. Carpine in large quantities is said to lower the pulse rate and depress the nervous system. The substance is found only in papaya seeds and that too in very small quantities. Fortunately though, the fleshy part of the fruit is completely free from this toxic substance.

Some varieties remain green when ripe, but most turn deep yellow or orange. When buying, choose uniformly yellow fruit with a delicate scent. Papaya is excellent when fresh, in fruit salads, smoothies or served with ice cream. Papaya is also enjoyable when finely chopped and served with chopped fresh chilies in a salsa dip.

Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration conducted tests on 22 red lipsticks and found lead, a neurotoxin, in every single lipstick sample studied.

The highest levels were in three well-known and common brands: Cover Girl, Revlon, L’Oreal.

While the FDA is continuing lead research on additional cosmetic brands and colours, it is reassuring consumers that the lead levels it found in the red lipsticks are very small and not a health threat.

The FDA does not regulate lead in finished cosmetics, only in colours added to the products.

None of the products exceeded the 20 parts per million limit on colours, the agency said.

An industry trade group, the Personal Care Products Council, said manufacturers did not add lead intentionally.

“Because lead is found naturally in air, water, and soil, it may also be found at extremely low levels as a trace contaminant in the raw ingredients used in formulating cosmetics, just as it is in many thousands of other products,” the Sydney Morning Herald quoted the group as stating.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is, however, not convinced.

It is calling on the FDA to require cosmetics manufacturers to reduce lead to the lowest achievable levels.

Over the years, I have tried various shampoos and hair styling products. Though, many were good, none of them really suited my hair type. I occasionally suffered dandruff. I tried few antidandruff shampoos without much success.  In the last 6 months, I started noticing thinning of hair. This alarmed me. Needless to say, I panicked. I had no clue what to do stop the hair loss. Then it occurred to me that perhaps I should use a professional shampoo. While researching over the internet, I stumbled upon a website – BeautyDiscounters.com. Here. I found the widest possible range of hair care brands. Immediately, I knew that this was the place where I will find answers to my hair problem.

Here, you can find shampoos for both women and men, catering to hair textures of every type and addressing almost every hair problem. Well known brands such as kMS products were available at unbelievably affordable prices. What’s more, here you can even find cheap Redken shampoo. As you maybe aware that Redken is one of the most renowned salon products manufacturers.

I shopped online at BeautyDiscounters.com for the shampoos and conditioners to exactly suit my hair problem. It has been just a month and I can already see the difference. My hair has started looking lustrous and dandruff is totally gone. Hair fall has subsided considerably. I will continue using these products and will post my experiences and results here.
