The list includes formaldehyde, which, if you remember, is one of the substances that aspartame breaks down into. It also includes titanium dioxide, which is still used in paint and sunscreen; propylene oxide, which is found in polyurethane plastics; and diesel exhaust. Even shift work is on the list — remember when we told you about how abnormal work schedules hurt your health? Check out the full list below: Lead and lead compounds Indium phosphide Cobalt with tungsten carbide Titanium dioxide Welding fumes Refractory ceramic fibers Diesel e...

Yale University researchers said that unknown environmental factors are the likely cause for the prevalence of the ADH1B*47His gene variant among some Asian populations, but not others. The gene causes rapid metabolism of alcohol into acetaldehyde, a chemical that produces hangovers, flushing, nausea and other unpleasant symptoms that make even moderate drinking a poor experience. Researchers found that the gene variant was very prevalent in East Asia, fairly common in West ...

If you’re not driving and you don’t have a problem with alcohol, the only problem  you may encounter is the after effect: the hangover. Does the type of booze you drink really affect the way you feel the next day? Sure thing, say researchers, if your choice is between bourbon and vodka. The way alcoholic drinks are made vary according to the type. Some alcohols have yeast, for example (like beer), while others may be high in tannins (like some wine). Even the hangover from wine can differ depending on the type you are drinking. Sparkling wines tend to leave some of the nastiest hangovers, people say. When comparing bourbon and vodka, researchers at Brown ...
