an accidental discovery on research with skin cream has found that certain skin moisturizers cause and or increase the risk of developing skin cancer. in experiements with skin cream, researchers exposed mice to excessive ultraviolet light. all of the mice in the experiment developed skin tumors, however those mice with moisturizer applied on their skin had more tumors and faster tumor growth. from the New Scientist article: “”We tested a total of four moisturising creams, and all four of them had tumorigenic activity,” says Conney. The resultant skin cancers were basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, and not the more lethal melanomas.” the four skin creams used were Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin and Vanicream. so far the exact ingredients in the moisturizer that caused the advanced tumor growth are unknown. but the researches believe moisturizers containing mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate to pose the greatest risk. the original article is published online via nature.com in the journal of investigative dermatology.

incredible! myaspartameexperiment.com is a very detailed website of an extensive experiment conducted by a private citizen on the effects of the artificial sweetener aspartame (nutrasweet). in short: stop using anything with nutrasweet/aspartame today! the experiment was conducted by victoria inness-brown, MA. inness-brown put a group of rats on a steady diet containing nutrasweet for 2 years and 8 months. the aspartame received daily by her rats was equivalent to two-thirds the aspartame contained in a 8 ounce can of diet soda (meaning it was less than the human equivalent of the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for aspartame as set by the FDA). the results are startling -the rats fed nutrasweet developed tumors, eye diseases, bone disorders, and eventually died. quoting the website for the basis of the experiment:
“I did my aspartame experiment because my family was addicted to diet soda. After researching the effects of aspartame, I strongly believed the artificial sweetener might one day lead to their illness and even early death.”
WARNING: the website myaspartameexperiment.com contains disturbing images of rats with symptoms of severe diseases and and illness. you can review the setup for the nutrasweet experiment here. fyi: nutrasweet is another bad product made by monsanto (the makers of round-up, agent orange, rBST/rBGH).
