this mystery...And now, they've *solved it* ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Find out how you can tap into this *"sigh of relief" discovery*... And get

*Popular air fresheners may have deadly scents*
The next time you come across a kitchen that smells "lemony fresh," or get a
whiff of a cool mountain glen in your t-shirt, don't breathe too deeply.
According to researchers from the University of Washington, air fresheners
and fragranced laundry products often emit literally dozens of chemicals -
some of which are considered toxic by federal law.
And the worst part is that none of the potentially hazardous chemicals that
are thrown off by these "fresh-smelling" products are even listed on the
label of ingredients. University of Washington researcher Ann C. Steinemann,
PhD, said, "I didn't find a brand that didn't emit at least one toxic
chemical."
As shocking as this may seem, there's a part of me that's not the least bit
surprised. After all, I'm a bright guy and I realize that laundry detergents
and air fresheners that smell like a cleansing summer rain storm aren't made
from fresh-picked mountain flowers after a sun shower. There are chemicals -
toxic and potentially deadly ones - that are replicating these odors. Of
course the manufacturers of these products are already in full
cornered-animal mode. They're proclaiming that the products are safe when
"used as directed," and that the chemicals in question are present only in
amounts not known to cause health issues.
But you've got to wonder, don't you? Steinemann, a professor of civil and
environmental engineering and public affairs at the University of
Washington, says her idea for the revealing study was born of the fact that
she had for years been told by many people that household cleaners and air
fresheners caused them to have dizzy spells, or had spurred bouts of
headache, asthma, shortness of breath - even seizures.
Steinemann's study closely examined six popular consumer produces: liquid
spray air fresheners, plug-in air fresheners, fabric softeners, laundry
detergents, dryer sheets, and the kinds of solid disc deodorizers used in
airliner toilets. Steinemann found that these six products emitted a
staggering 100 volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
But to me, the most disheartening discovery of Steinemann's study came when
she turned to federal law to find out what laws were on the books to protect
consumers from this kind of thing. As it turns out, there's no law that
requires disclosure of all chemicals in fragrances.
It's an outrage to say the least. Steve Gilbert, a toxicologist not
associated with the study, put it very succinctly: "At the very minimum, we
should have a right to know what's in these products."
Your best bet is to stop using store-bought air fresheners altogether. Try
the real thing instead - cut open a lemon or orange, gather some mint
leaves, or just open a box of baking soda.

*Are painkillers killing PSA test results?*
At what point will the healthcare community decide that it's time to cut
bait on the dreadfully inaccurate PSA test? Now the news has come out that
taking aspirin or other common painkillers can actually cause an inaccurate
PSA reading.
A new study revealed that men taking aspirin and other commonly used,
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) had PSA readings that were 10
percent lower than the men in the study who did not take those drugs.
"This raises questions that will have to be answered in a larger clinical
trial," said study's lead author Dr. Eric Singer, chief of urology at the
University of Rochester.
How's that for an understatement?
In spite of this research based on data from 1,300 men from all over the
country, Singer is not ready to believe that the shocking implication of
this study should be the death knell for the PSA test.
Believe me: I'm all for being prudent, and in the past I've complained about
the relatively small sample size of some studies that are published in
medical journals. But that's what drives me nuts: doctors have made a bigger
deal in the past over test results based on groups much smaller than the
ones used in Singer's research.
This is hardly the first bump in the road for the PSA test. It's a dirty
little secret of modern medicine that the PSA is wildly ambiguous, and often
downright inaccurate - and all this was known before finding out that
aspirin has the potential to toss a gigantic monkey wrench into PSA test
results.
According to an Associated Press article from earlier this year, the
majority of prostate biopsies among men with elevated PSA levels did NOT
reveal cancer - while many with "normal" PSA scores actually have the
disease.
It's hard to say how many men who are given the PSA test are also on a daily
regimen of aspirin therapy for heart issues, but I'm sure it's more than a
few.
One more reason to toss the PSA right where it belongs – in the trash.
Trashing the PSA,
