Shampoos now stay within Formaldehyde limits
Posted in Health, tagged formaldehyde, shampoo on July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday I was at a major supermarket in Woodland civic centre. Again I went to browse the various toiletries for my family. I was at the shampoo section again as to check if any kind soul had taken any serious effort to deal with the previously rampant unwonted formaldehyde additives into shampoos [...]
A new product for EyeRelax
Posted in Eye Care, Health, Ideas on July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Just gave an innovative idea to a EyeRelax staff last week (24 Jul 08) when my wife and I visited their office to collect a table lamp whilst giving our experiences using the eye relaxing device that was supposedly to be effective for amblyopia (lazy eye), myopia (short-sightedness) and presbyopia (long-sightedness).
I also have another eye [...]

It seemed that many opticians do not know the difference between Hyperopia and Presbyopia. I think many are simply passing off a lower degree pair of glasses as a proper reading glass and which could further exacerbate our eyesight problem. Came across this in the internet. So could some kind soul out there pse enlighten [...]

Despites all the hype about Vitamin and Minerals. Remember to take them in moderation. They are after all, supplements. As we all know now, too much calcium without magnesium would lead to hardening of the blood vessels and its brittleness could cause rapture … etc etc.
In particular, please please do not overdose [...]

Thanks Dr Christine for your insightful reply in the Straits Times (dated 3 July 2008) – link
1. Thanks for pointing out that “Shampoos are classified as cosmetic products.” However, your reply was not clear when it was classified as a cosmetic as such. Even though as such, I believe that even for cosmetic, [...]

“Why is it when Mervyn’s is naughty, you never cane him …. blah blah blah …..?” wailed Clement in his utmost loudest tone to get our attention. You see, Clement is our younger son or my baby as I chose to call him, is behaving like one again. I hardly cane nowadays as both [...]

Hi, I just this article in both our local papers and also in the internet: “ Tofu linked to memory loss: Study“. Yes, as already known, Tofu or Bean Curd contains loads of female hormone (phytoestrogen) which appear to be permeating freely in abundance in today’s society. It is good to give [...]

Just this weekend, I was at Suntec with my family for the “Singapore Toy & Comic Convention“. Yeah, always for my kids. Well not actually. I am still a kid at heart. Not kidding.
