Citando:
"Sistema europeu alerta para perigos

O RAPEX - Sistema Europeu de Alerta Rápido sobre Produtos Perigosos é pouco divulgado mas facilita a troca rápida de informação entre os Estados Membros. Mais de duzentas notificações foram feitas nos últimos dois anos, nomeadamente:

Diversas maquilhagens com fibras de amianto, que representam um risco cancerígeno; rímel com quantidade excessiva de conservantes ou corantes não permitidos em cosméticos; sabonete líquido para crianças com bactérias, podendo provocar infeções ou até tatuagens temporárias com produtos não permitidos e que podem provocar dermatites alérgicas.

Alguns destes produtos estiveram à venda em Portugal. No caso das maquilhagens com fibras de amianto da Claire’s, a empresa optou pela medida voluntária de recolha das unidades, num total de 137."

Independent Analysis on Supplements & Nutrition | Examine.com


Citando:

"What is Examine.com? We were frustrated.
There was no place we could turn to in order to get unbiased information on supplements. Sure, there was Wikipedia, but it wasn’t getting deep into the science. Everyone else? Had an agenda. Supplement companies misrepresenting science. Media sensationalizing headlines. Companies and individuals pushing unneeded supplements and other products onto you.

That’s why Examine.com started in 2011. Fully independent from the start, we’ve never sold any supplements. Or done any coaching or consulting. Or any kind of advertising or sponsorship.
Our goal from day 1 has always been: read the research, make sense of it, and put it online. We’re an education company that looks at the research — nothing more, nothing less.

And that’s why we’re the trusted brand. We have an entire team, from medical doctors to researchers to professors to pharmacists. Collectively, we come to a consensus that you can trust.

That’s why we’re here. We do the hard work for you."
