On January 26, 2024, the Associated Press reported that the 25-year-old actress died of a severe peanut allergy after eating cookies. The cookies were reportedly not labeled as containing peanuts. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stepped in and issued an emergency recall to avoid potential health risks. Many people find it hard to believe that he died from eating a peanut biscuit. In fact, many people go to the hospital every year because of food allergies. · Early warning data According to the safety HUD platform data of Merieux Nutrition Science Group covering dozens of countries and regions around the world, from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, a total of nearly 3,000 products with non-standard or unlabeled allergens were monitored, mainly pre-packaged foods, cereal baked goods, seafood products, meat, candy and so on.

The natural moisturizing system in human skin is composed of three substances: water, natural moisturizing factor (NMF) and lipids, which keeps the stratum corneum with a certain moisture content and maintains the skin's moisture and luster. Normal skin stratum corneum usually contains 10% to 30% water, when the skin is too dry, there will be rough surface, lamellar splitting, loss of elasticity, and even chapping. The main factors that cause dry skin on a daily basis include cold climate, low relative humidity of the air and age. Entering the autumn and winter season, as the temperature drops, the human capillaries contract, the blood flow rate slows down, the operation and metabolism of the organs have slowed down, and the sweat glands and sebaceous glands in the skin have become "lazy", providing significantly less water and oil. When the moisture is reduced to less than 10%, the skin's tension and luster will disappear, and the skin will appear dry, rough, chapped and other manifestations, which will cause wrinkles. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to moisturizing the skin.

In recent years, people's attention to health has increased, and healthy diet has naturally become the focus of attention. As a hot diet in recent years, low GI diet has the potential to reduce the risk of disease and improve physical health, especially for diabetes or pre-sugar people, weight loss people and exercise and fitness people. This has led to the need for low GI food certification. Low GI Definition GI is the glycemic index, or glycemic index, expressed as a percentage of the increase in the area under the glycemic response curve over a period of time (2 hours) compared to fasting after eating a reference food (glucose) containing the same amount of available carbohydrate. GI values range from 0 to 100% and are divided into 3 stages: High GI (GI > 70%) Medium GI (55% < GI value ≤70%

Lutein - an eye-protecting nutrient that 80% of the world`s population must take! Lutein is the main component of macular pigment and is a type of carotenoid. In fact, we have all known the common sense that "eating carrots is good for our eyes" since we were young, but we have never been specific about "lutein". According to a survey published in "Jama Ophthalmol" in 2017, researchers originally wanted to explore whether the specific link between outdoor sunlight exposure and myopia prevention and control was related to increased synthesis of vitamin D. The results did not find that vitamin D was related to myopia. correlation, unexpectedly found a huge correlation between plasma lutein concentration and the probability of myopia [1]: the top 20% of people with plasma lutein concentration have a probability of myopia that is about 40% lower than the average probability of the rest of the population. This is sufficient evidence that lutein can effectively prevent and control myopia. If you are not worried about myopia and just want to protect your eyes, does lutein mean nothing to you? Not really. Although in the modern environment, the most common eye problem is myopia, but even if you have good vision, lutein can still optimize your eye health and be the icing on the cake↓↓↓ An important indicator of fundus health: macular pigment density

White Fumei Chuanming Acid in Skincare Products Chuanming acid has many benefits for the skin of the human body. Due to various reasons, melanin accumulates in the skin, causing the skin to turn black; Some people also have excessive sebum secretion, acne, and hyaluronic acid, which are just the solutions to these two major skin problems. Factors such as UV rays, drugs, free radicals, and hormones can stimulate the activity of tyrosinase, leading to an increase in the amount of melanin protein and darkening of skin tone. Once stimulated, melanocytes will continuously produce melanin protein for 28 days, causing the skin color to deepen continuously. The experimental results have shown that tranexamic acid reduces skin tone darkening caused by ultraviolet radiation by more than 30%. The whitening mechanism of tranexamic acid is to simultaneously and rapidly inhibit the activity of tyrosinase enzyme and melanocytes; And it can prevent the aggregation of melanin, block and eliminate the path of melanin deterioration caused by ultraviolet radiation. Therefore, Chuanming acid is moving closer to the field of whitening skincare products! Transmitting acid can be added to whitening cream, whitening essence, whitening solution, whitening gel, whitening water and other formulas. Chuanming acid can improve local microcirculation of the skin, reduce blood viscosity, increase the permeability of deep hair vessels, and promote blood circulation in capillaries, achieving the goal of removing dark circles and eye bags, while also preventing and r

As we all know, the raw materials of traditional Chinese medicine are mainly Chinese medicinal materials. Most of them are natural wild plants, animals or minerals, such as roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, animals and their organs. The original medicinal material itself has a large number of microorganisms, eggs and impurities, in the appropriate temperature and humidity, microorganisms easy to grow and reproduce. Chinese herbal pieces are processed from Chinese medicinal materials and can be directly used in Chinese medicine clinical products, most of which come from natural plants, animals or minerals, but also carry a lot of microorganisms. The processing of most Chinese herbal pieces is simple (such as cleaning, stir-frying, etc.) , and the sterilization is not complete, which makes some pathogenic microorganisms remain, microbes are also introduced. In addition, in the process of transportation and storage, the contact with the operator and the external non-clean environment also increases the possibility of Chinese herbal pieces contaminated by pathogenic microorganisms, thus affecting its safety.
