HSA Issues Warning Against a Steroid-containing Capsule Product

Recently I came across with this news article which made me worried!

It's about a health food being warned by HSA for containing potent medicinal ingredients which could cause negative side effects to the consumers. 

The below is the link to the full article:

http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/hsa-issues-warning-against-itch-removing-capsule-after-woman-suffers-adverse?xtor=CS3-17

As a wise consumer, reading the ingredient label is important. 

So you will know the product is made of what kind of ingredient - whether is it wholesome natural ingredient or synthetic (chemical) ingredient. 

However, some hidden harmful chemicals may not put up on the ingredient label by the manufacturers, putting the consumer's health AT RISK! 

Therefore, as a wise consumer, we need to look for a product not only effective, MOST IMPORTANTLY it must BE SAFE!! 

• To me, I will look for products which receive Safety Certificates such as "Food Safety Excellence Award" by Singapore AVA. 

• Which safety testings are important in ensuring food product safety?

• Check out my previous post on "QUALITY CONTROL IS IMPORTANT FOR A FOOD MANUFACTURER":

3 Step-Solution for your child to improve from eczema

How does Science of Nutritional Immunology explain and help on the eczema?

What is Eczema?

See the below from different sources of information about eczema definition and cause.

1. Excellence Magazine Volume 9

• Affecting about 10% of infants and 3% of the total population in the United States, eczema suffered have to endure the inflamed skin conditions that can include redness, blistering and oozing of the skin. The exact cause is unknown but many researches suspect genetic abnormality and a malfunctioning immune system. 

2. Source: http://www.healthline.com/health/eczema#Overview)

• Eczema is a common skin condition marked itchy and inflamed patches of skin. It is also known as atopic dermatitis. It is more common in babies and young children. It occurs on the faces of infants, as well as inside the elbows and behind the knees of children, teenagers, and adults. 

• It is caused by an overactive immune system. 

• Up to 20 percent of children and one to three percent of adults develop atopic dermatitis, according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
• In rare cases, atopic dermatitis can first appear during puberty or adulthood. It affects males and females equally. 

3. Source: http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eczema/basics/causes/con-20032073

• The exact cause of atopic dermatitis (eczema) is unknown, but it's likely due to a combination of dry, irritable skin with a malfunction in the body's immune system. Stress and other emotional disorders can worsen atopic dermatitis, but they don't cause it.

In fact, eczema is one of the auto-immune diseases, which mean the immune cells attack own organ (in this case, it is skin).

1. What is Auto-Immune Disease?

• There are at least 80 types of auto immune diseases. They can occur in many organs and cause various symptoms. 

• Auto inmune diseases result from a confused immune system attaching normal body tissues. 

• This is unlike a normal functioning immune system that only attracjs substances that are harmful to the body such as bacteria, viruses, toxins and cancer cells. 

2. How does consuming Meat, Dairy products increase the risk of auto-immune disease?

- Eating meat and dairy products raises the risk of auto immune diseases. 

Example those who consumed the most dairy products had almost twice the risk of deceloping inflammatory polyarthritis as those with the lowest consumption. 

• The intestinal lining can become inflamed due to the intake of substances such as alcohol and drugs. 

• The intestinal inflammation will lead to LEAKY GUT SYNDROME which cause most of the auto-immune diseases. 

• Inflammation causes the release of chemicals that dissolves the membranes of intestines. 

• Food is digested in the stomach and intestines and broken down into small molecules that pass through intestinal walls to enter the blood streams.

• The intestinal wall acts as a filter and protective barrier

• If this filter is 'damaged' (a common occurrence during inflammation), there will be increased permeability (commonly referred as a LEAKY GUT).

• This allows incomplete digested big molecules to pass through the intestinal walls into the blood streams. 

• When these incomplete big molecules accumulate in certain organs, they stimulate the immune system to react by initiating the inflammation responses. 

• While attacking these foreign substances, the immune system may mistakenly attack the neighbouring organs, thereby leading to the auto immune diseases. 

3. What are other risk factors?

Drugs, gender, smoking 

4. How to reduce the risk of auto-immune diseases? 

Fortunately recent evidence indicates that decreasing intestinal permeability by eliminating certain substances from the diet may be helpful. 

With the changes in eating habit, and lifestyle change, the auto-immune diseases will improve and be prevented. 

5. Long term use of medication will not be an ideal solution.

In fact, after understanding about the root cause of eczema which is due to malfunctioning of immune system, we can go for natural remedies to improve the condition through 

6. What are the natural and safer solution to eczema? 

3 Step-Solution to improve your eczema:

Step 1: Eliminate meat and dairy products from diet (including cows milk)

Step 2: Keep a diet low in fats and vegetable oils (including biscuits, cakes)

Step 3: Take high antioxidants and phytochemicals superfoods to balance out the immune system

Recall of Manuka Honey due to non-approved additives found

Another case of health product recall in Singapore. 

• PHOTOS

Evergreen Manuka Honey (Image: AVA)

SINGAPORE: The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) on Friday (Feb 26) announced a recall of Evergreen manuka honey products from New Zealand.

AVA noted that New Zealand's Ministry of Primary Industries has posted an advisory that Evergreen Life Limited is recalling the products. There is information to suggest that non-approved substances dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and methylglyoxal (MG) may have been used during the processing of the honey, AVA said.

Source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/mobile/singapore/recall-of-manuka-honey/2552384.html

• As a wise consumer, we need to always be aware of the food safety. 

• On top of non-approved additives found in honey, do you know that traces of antibiotics could be found in honey too? This is due to the misuse of antibiotics from the bee producers who would like to prevent bees from falling sick. 

• Overuse of antibiotics can cause superbug in our body.

Vitamin C in Baby Foods - is it good?

While i was searching for more information on baby foods, I was reminded to share with all on the ingredients on baby foods once again.

Many baby food products may claim to be FREE of preservatives. However it can last for quite some time. 

Have you ever wondered HOW?

It's because Vitamin C has been fortified into the baby food. 

"Ascorbic acid (commonly known as Vitamin C) neutralizes oxygen when it comes into contact with it. 

Oxygen allows foods to continue to ripen, an aging process similar to the one people go through that ends in death. 
Oxygen is also vital for many microorganisms to thrive, some of which cause decay. 

Ascorbic acid slows or neutralizes these events. The substance blocks cured meat’s propensity to form carcinogens called nitrosamines, for example. In the process, the vitamin also preserves the flesh’s red color. In addition, ascorbic acid preserves flavor. "

Do you check the ingredient label of the baby foods?

What's the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C for Children?

The recommended daily intake by the U.S. Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine 

for infants 0-12 months old is the amount of vitamin C in human milk; 

for children 1-3 years old, it is 15 milligrams; 

for children 4-8 years old, it is 25 milligrams; 

for children 9-13 years old, it is 45 milligrams; 

and for adolescents 14-18 years old, it is 75 milligrams for boys and 65 milligrams for girls. 

The tolerable upper intake levels (UL) for vitamin C are 400 milligrams daily for children 1-3 years old; 

650 milligrams daily for children 4-8 years old; 

1,200 milligrams daily for children 9-13 years old; 

1,800 milligrams daily for adolescents and pregnant and lactating females 14-18 years old

Common side-effects of Vitamin C overdoes

• Relatively large doses of vitamin C may cause indigestion, particularly when taken on an empty stomach.

• When taken in large doses, vitamin C causes diarrhea in healthy subjects. 

• In one trial in 1936, doses up to 6 grams of ascorbic acid were given to 29 infants, 93 children of preschool and school age, and 20 adults for more than 1400 days. 

• With the higher doses, toxic manifestations were observed in five adults and four infants. The signs and symptoms in adults were nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, flushing of the face, headache, fatigue and disturbed sleep. 

• The main toxic reactions in the infants were skin rashes.

There is a difference between Man-Made vitamins vs vitamins from wholesome food source. 

The above comes from man-made vitamins therefore side effects can be observed. 

However, when we consume oranges (vitamin C source) than our body require, we will never suffer side effects as stated above.

How to Choose a Healthier Cooking Oil for the health benefits of the whole family?

Why E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil is highly recommended for every household to use?

In the past, I always have the impression that Olive Oil is the healthiest oil in the market. 

But why is that so? I have no idea. 

But after learning from Dr Chen on the criteria in choosing a healthier cooking oil, i learned that Olive Oil is not the healthiest cooking oil yet. 

Furthermore, if we do not know how to use Olive Oil correctly, it will turn into harmful substances. For example, Olive Oil cannot be used for deep frying because of its lower smoking point. 

The below article which was published in LONGLIFE magazine has featured the E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil.

It was shared by the author (who is a nutritionist) that why E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil is her choice! 

(Click the photo to enlarge)

From the last photo, she has shared on the 

Criteria in choosing a healthy cooking oil:

1. Safe and no contamination

2. Healthy Ratio of Omega 6: Omega 3 = 1:1

See the Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio of Common Cooking Oils: 

Perilla Seed Oil:                1: 4

Kiwi Seed Oil:                   1: 4

Macadamia Nut Oil:          1: 1

Canola Oil:                        2.1: 1

Soybean Oil:                     7.1: 1

Olive Oil:                           12.8: 1

Tea Seed Oil:                    31.8: 1

Peanut Oil:                        32: 0

Sunflower Oil:                   39.4: 1

Palm Oil:                           45.9: 1

Corn Oil:                           46.1: 1

Sesame Oil:                     137: 1

CottonSeed Oil:               259.4: 1

Grape Seed Oil:               667.1: 1

• A high ratio of omega 6: omega 3 promotes many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and inflammatory of many auto-immune diseases.

• Plant based foods are beneficial to health, however, when they are extracted as OIL, their molecular structures undergo changes and most of their nutrients are destroyed. 

• Moreover, plant oils are high in calories, and when consumed., put a lot of stress on the body. 

3. Smoking Point of cooking oil CANNOT be exceeded by the cooking temperature. Otherwise, the quality will be damaged and turned to be carcinogenic. 

See Smoke Points (Deg C) of Common Cooking Oils:

Macadamia Oil: 210 
Perilla Seed Oil: 202-250
Canola Oil: 200 
Kiwi Fruit Seed Oil: 160
Soybean Oil: 160
Olive Oil: 160
Tea Seed Oil: 252
Sunflower Oil: 107
Corn Oil: 160
Sesame Oil: 177
Coconut Oil: 177
Peanut Oil: 160

Our Asian Cooking methods such as stir-frying and deep frying could go as high as 190 DegC. 

Therefore, some cooking oils which has smoke point lower than 190 Deg C are not recommended to use for asian cooking methods, such as Olive Oil.

Based on the above criteria, E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil has become an ideal choice as: 

• Omega 6: Omega 3 is 1:1

• Smoking Point is 210 deg C which is hardly exceeded by usual cooking methods. 

• No artificial colouring, additives and preservatives.  

Therefore, I highly recommend all of you to use E.Excel Cooking Oil instead of other brands.

What is an Allergy? How to prevent Allergy among Children?

1. What Is An Allergy?

When you have an allergy, your immune system mistakes an allergen for an invader and overreacts by producing immunoglobulins E (IgE) antibodies. When IgE antibodies bind to receptors on basophils and mast cells, they trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals that result in allergy symptoms. 

Asthma and Allergies

Asthma and allergies often occur together. They are related but not the same thing.

Inhaled allergens such as pollen, mold, pet dander and dust mites can trigger asthma symptoms such as shortness of breath, wheezing and chest tightness. This is called allergic asthma. 

When asthma is triggered by factors not related to allergies, it is called non-allergic asthma. Such factors includes anxiety, exercise, and cold air. 

Symptoms of Allergy

Allergy symptoms usually occur in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, lining of the stomach, or on the skin. These symptoms may be as mild as rages, sneezing and coughing or they may be life-threatenining, such as the swelling of air passages that may cause difficulty in breathing and even death. Anaphylaxis is the most serious and sometimes life-threatening allergic reaction. 

2. Types of Allergy

Allergic Rhinitis 

Symptoms include itching in the nose, roof of the month, throat, and eyes, sneezing, stuffy and runny nose, tearing eyes, and dark circles under the eyes. Seasonal allergic rhinitis (also known as hay fever) is triggered by pollen in the air and occurs only during the time of the year in which certain plants pollinate. Parennial allergic rhinitis which occurs all year round is triggered by indoor allergens such as saliva and urine found on pet dander, mold, dried skin flakes, dust mite drippings and cockroach droppings. 

Food Allergy

Food allergies occur when the immune system overreacts to certain proteins found in the food we eat. The majority of food allergies are caused by cow's milk, eggs, fish, peanuts, shellfish, tree nuts and wheat. 

Drug Allergy

Caused by having an adverse reaction to certain medications, a drug allergy is more likely to occur when the medication is taken frequently either through topical application or injection rather than by mouth. 

Skin Allergy

Itching, redness and swelling are common to most skin allergies. Eczema is one the most common skin conditions and is often linked with asthma, hay fever and food allergy. 

3. Allergies vs. Colds

Although most allergic reactions present the same symptoms as colds, the two are different. Colds are caused by a virus, whereas allergies are caused by exposure to allergens.

Allergy

• Runny (clear mucus) or stuffy nose, sneezing, wheezing, watery or itchy eyes. No fever. 
• Begins shortly after exposure to an allergen. 
• Last as long as exposure

Colds

• Similar to allergies, but may also include fever, body aches, and sore throat. 
• Develops over several days
• Should clear up within several days. 

4. How Diet affects Allergies

Many asthma patients have found that eliminating dairy products from their diets helps. Dairy products are very common causes of upper-respiratory allergies, asthma and other allergic reactions.

Milk protein is the most likely cause of allergy-related asthma due to a milk allergy. 

However, some people may not be allergic to the milk itself, but to the antibiotics passed in the milk from dairy cows. If cows are milked within 48 hours after receiving penicillin (to treat inflammation of the udders), penicillin will appear in the milk in small quantities. People who are allergic to penicillin may develop symptoms of penicillin allergy after drinking such milk. 

Dairy products such as milk may stimulate excess mucus production and worsen clogging of the lungs, resulting in asthma attacks. 

Eliminating milk and meat may greatly reduce asthma symptoms. 

In a study involving 24 patents, 71% of the patients experienced an improvement in their asthma symptoms after following a vegan diet for only four months.

According to a study of 690 children in Crete, a high dietary intake of commonly consumed fruits, vegetables and nuts may protect against asthma-like symptoms and allergic rhinitis. 

A high intake of nuts was found to be inversely associated with wheezing, whereas margarine increased the risk of both wheezing and allergic rhinitis. 

Margarine is a rich source of omega-6 fatty acids such as linoleum acid. An increase in linoleum acid in the diet promotes the formation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2, with a consequent increase in the likelihood of asthma. 

5. Cleaner Environment = Higher Risk of Allergies?

There appears to be a significant relationship between extremely clean environments and a rise in certain allergies and auto-immune diseases. 

The hygiene hypothesis proposes that childhood exposure to common pathogens is important for building healthy immune responses. 

According to the hygiene hypothesis, extremely clean environments do not provide the necessary exposure to the germs required to "educate" the immune system so it can learn to launch its defense responses to infectious organisms. 

Lack of exposure to a variety of quantity of microbes contributes to an increase in the rate of allergies. 

The more children are exposed to germs, certain types of infection, and social interaction, the more they can help their immune systems to develop naturally into a less allergic and better-regulated state of being. However, improved hygiene and sanitation and smaller family sizes have reduced the exposure of the immune system to a wide range of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. 

Smaller Families

Scientists observed that most children suffering from common allergies such eczema and hay fever came from smaller families or had no siblings. Children raised in large families or with more siblings were likely to have increased exposure to infectious agents and developed fewer allergy symptoms.

Less Exposure to Animals

A study published in Clinical & Experimental Allergy suggested that children who live with dogs and cats in their first year of life are less likely to develop allergies to these animals later in life. 

Meanwhile, other studies also suggest that children whose mothers were exposed to farming and cowsheds during pregnancy have reduced chances of getting allergic diseases. 

Lack of such exposure can lead to overactive of immune system that misfires against harmless substances such as pet dander and food proteins. This could explain why allergic diseases continue to escalate worldwide, especially in highly developed countries. 

Less Exposure to Harmless Bacteria and Viruses 

The hygiene hypothesis also attempts to explain the increased rates of asthma due to reduced exposure to harmless bacteria and viruses during childhood. Exposure to bacterial toxins in early childhood may prevent the development of asthma.

Lower rates of asthma on farms and in households with pets lend support to the hygiene hypothesis. 

A possible explanation for this my be found in the results of an experimental study in which scientists exposed mice to cockroach or protein allergens. They discovered that mice previously exposed to dog-associated dust had greatly reduced asthma-associated inflammatory responses in the lungs when compared to mice that were exposed to dust from homes without pets or mice not exposed to any dust. The protected mice have Lactobacillus johnsonii, a bacteria species in their gut micro biome. When the scientists fed Lactobacillus johnsonii to mice, they found that it could prevent airway inflammation due to allergens or even respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Severe RSV infection in infancy is associated with elevated asthma risk. 

Extremely Clean Environments

A study involving 1659 Italian military cadets revealed that respiratory allergy was less frequent in people heavily exposed to orofecal and food borne microbes like Toxoplasma gondii, Helicobacter pylori, and Hepatitis A virus. The findings suggest that hygiene and a Westernized, semisterile diet may contribute to allergic asthma and rhinitis in developed countries. 

6. How to Prevent Allergy

Some risk factors for allergies are out of our control (for example, allergies tend to run in families). However, there are measures that we can take to help prevent allergies from developing in children. 

** Tips for Pregnant Women **

1. Avoid smoking and secondhand smoke during pregnancy.

Infants whose mothers smoked during pregnancy have a fourfold increased risk of having allergic skin diseases by 18 months of age. Regular exposure to secondhand smoke increases the mother's and the baby's risk of developing allergies. 

2. Eat peanuts and tree nuts if you are not allergic to them.

Pregnant women who are not allergic to peanuts and tree nuts and who eat more of them during pregnancy may lower the risk of their child developing an allergy to these foods according to a study published in JAMA Pediatrics. 

3. Try to give birth naturally if you do not have any medical condition.

Babies born by Cesarean section (C-Section) are five times more likely to develop allergies than those born naturally when exposed to high levels of common home allergens according to a study by Henry Ford Hospital. 

C-section babies lacked the Bacteroidetes (one of the major groups of gut bacteria) or acquired them late when compared with babies delivered through their mothers' birth canals. The Bacteroidetes are important for priming the immune system to respond appropriately to triggers. When the immune system overreacts through a lack of good gut bacteria, this can lead to allergies, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease. 

** Tips for Parents **

1. Breast-feed.

Breast milk contains substances that benefit the baby's immune system. Breast-fed babies have gut bacteria different from those in babies who drink cow's milk. Exclusive breast-feeding is recommended for at least four months and up to six months of age. 

2. Help your children stay a healthy weight. 

Fat babies are adorable, but the extra weight increases their risk of developing allergies. Compared to normal-weight children, overweight children were 16% more likely to have asthma, and obese children were 37% more likely according to a U.S. study involving over 600,000 children. 

3. Introduce potentially allergenic foods between four to six months of age. 

This may reduce the risk of food allergy according to new recommendations by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), published in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice. The AAAAI advises trying a few typical baby foods, such as oat cereal, fruits or vegetables and once these are well-tolerated, introducing potentially allergenic foods such as cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and fish. 

4. Avoid Antibiotics. 

Avoid antibiotics, especially for children aged two years and young. A study showed a link between antibiotics use in the first two years of life and asthma at age 7.5 years. 

*Always consult your doctor first.

7. Treatments

There is currently no cure for allergies.

Avoiding your allergic triggers is the most important step in preventing allergic reactions. 

Skin or blood tests can help to identify these triggers. 

Medication such as antihistamines and decongestanta help ease symptoms like sneezing and runny nose.

Steroids are also used for symptoms relief, but they reduce immune activity, thereby lowering resistance to infection and delaying healing in the long run. Using topical steroids in large doses over prolonged periods may affect children's growth. Other options include allergy shots, epinephrine injections and monoclonal antibodies. 

8. Nature's Power Against Allergies

Harness the power of plant foods to help reduce allergic reactions. 

1. Ashitaba 

Chacones present in ashitaba plant help reduce allergy symptoms by inhibiting the release of histamine. 

2. Kumazasa

Kumazasa helps enhance liver function, enabling the liver to work more efficiently as the body's filter. Its lignin also has cleansing effects on the liver.

As a convenience, you can get the above superfoods from the wholesome food called ORCHESTRA (made of Kumazasa and Ashitaba):
