'Fluorochemicals' dalam pembungkus makanan..

Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2013 Jan 1;266(1):132-42. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2012.10.022. Epub 2012 Nov 7. Fluorochemicals used in food packaging inhibit male sex hormone synthesis. Rosenmai AK , Nielsen FK , Pedersen M , Hadrup N , Trier X , Christensen JH , Vinggaard AM . Source Division of Toxicology & Risk Assessment, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, DK-2860 Søborg, Denmark. akjro@ food .dtu.dk   Sebelum ini kita dikejutkan dengan kesan BPA termasuklah pada botol susu bayi. Kajian yang dilakukan oleh sekumpulan penyelidik luar negara mendapati kehadiran bahan meragukan pada pembungkus makanan. Bahan 'fluorochemicals' ini boleh melarut ke dalam makanan dan masuk dalam sistem tubuh badan manusia. Bahan ini digunakan kerana ia boleh menghasilkan pembalut atau pembungkus makanan yang tak telap air atau minyak. Hasil kajian in vitro mendapati ia meningkatkan hormon wanita 'estrogen' dan menurunkan hormon androgen yang membentuk ciri-ciri...

THIS IS A COPY-PASTE FROM THE MALAYSIA INSIDER and if this report is nothing but the true... i dont agree with them. Seksualiti Merdeka: Rakyat perlu sedia dialog secara terbuka, kata IRF. November 10, 2011 KUALA LUMPUR, 10 Nov – Pengerusi Islamic Renaissance Front (IRF) Dr Ahmad Farouk Musa berkata, rakyat Malaysia yang berbilang kaum sepatutnya lebih bersedia untuk berbincang dan berdialog secara terbuka terutamanya dalam isu gender dan seksualiti tanpa melahirkan ancaman dan kecaman. Kata beliau, walaupun rakyat mungkin berbeza pandangan tentang isu berhubung moral, “kita harus menghormati hak seseorang sebagai individu.” “Seseorang yang mengaku beragama Islam haruslah dihormati haknya sebagai seorang Islam. Sekiranya ia mempunyai keinginan yang bukan heteronormatif, yang demikian itu tidak memberikan kuasa kepada sesiapapun untuk menghina dan menindas individu tersebut,” kata beliau dalam pandangannya mengenai isu kontroversi berkaitan dengan Seksualiti Merdeka. ...

If what is reported here in The STAR is true..than in sya Allah if I ever get to vote this year, I know what my vote will be. With my limited knowledge on Malaysia politic, I do not think that DAP's struggle all this while will stop just at the level of a DPM. And I think, yes we may achieve vision 2020 faster under them but our majority poor Malay muslim will be sidelined and we will not be very different from our brothers and sisters in our southern neighbour country. I accepted that I do not agree 100% with whats happening under our current leadership but i do not think our predicament will be better if the opposition wins...my2cents.. PETALING JAYA: PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang and DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang may be named deputy prime ministers if Pakatan Rakyat wins the coming General Election. Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim told Sin Chew Daily that this was possible because Malaysian laws did not prohibit the appointment of two deputy prime mini...

omak ku

aka opah to the cucu. i ve always thought that my mum is one intelligent soul. highly determined and extremely creative and inquisitive. she has been busy with her samsung tab that she bought last week. she bought with her duit kutu. i ve once suggested her to buy the ipad because she loves reading papers and she also like to ask lots of questions, most of the time things that i m not aware of. she was not very keen and i personally think that it might be too much for her to learn as i ve seen 'more educated" retired aunties shy away from this new gadget. but never underestimate this opah. opah that did nt get to complete her schooling because of life circumstances and takdir laluan hidup yang Allah betikan. ..she has been using the htc phone for few months thus she knows how to slide her fingers on the gadget. that helps a lot. she has been learning to operate the tab with thecucus. now she can read her favourite paper, listen to ustaz ceramah from UAI to her regular ustaz ja...

Tocotrienols again..should I?

Concentrate back to vitamin E? On tocotrienols to be exact?..MPOB is so near to us.. Famed American celebrity doctor Dr Mehmet Oz and US alternative health expert Bryce Wylde believe in the health benefits of red palm oil. IN a recent American television broadcast that left many gaping with amazement, famed American celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz, better known as Dr Oz, actually sang the praises of palm oil. Specifically, the doctor was extolling the virtues of red palm oil (RPO), which in industry parlance would be the crude oil extracted from carefully selected fresh fruit bunches of the oil palm tree ( Elaeis guineensis ). The beautiful red colour, akin to the colour of a ready-to-drink Ribena (a blackcurrant drink), comes from the high content of beta-carotenes (precursor to Vitamin A) found in the oil palm fruitlets. The manufacturing of RPO via a gentle refining process preserves the maximum amount of natural vitamin content in the oil. Calling it one of the 13 “miracl...

J Physiol Biochem. 2012 Dec 4. [Epub ahead of print] Palm tocotrienol-rich fraction reduced plasma homocysteine and heart oxidative stress in rats fed with a high-methionine diet. Norsidah KZ , Asmadi AY , Azizi A , Faizah O , Kamisah Y . Abstract Oxidative stress contributes to cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to study the effects of palm tocotrienol-rich fraction (TRF) on plasma homocysteine and cardiac oxidative stress in rats fed with a high-methionine diet. Forty-two male Wistar rats were divided into six groups. The first group was the control. Groups 2-6 were fed 1 % methionine diet for 10 weeks. From week 6 onward, folate (8 mg/kg diet) or palm TRF (30, 60 and 150 mg/kg diet) was added into the diet of groups 3, 4, 5 and 6. The rats were then killed. Palm TRF at 150 mg/kg and folate supplementation prevented the increase in plasma total homocysteine (4.14 ± 0.33 and 4.30 ± 0.26 vs 5.49 ± 0.25 mmol/L, p < 0.05) induced by a high-methionine diet. The increased...

cny 2013 homesweethome

 indeed that s where we spent our packed 5 days cny holiday. starting from bp to melaka to kl now back in kuantan. in bp we were greeted by in laws nieces n nephews. we spread the thin bedspread in front of the tv and enjoyed the cerekarama titled suamiku jururawat which was quite fun. early morning was very cold and we pulled each others blankets as we didnt bring enough. sunday morning we drove to melaka with 2 other cars. a short stint at the wedding before we continued the journey to kl. that little house in damansara was jam packed with 20 people yet the guests still enjoyed each others presence. its infectious. we just tapau food for those too tired to get out of the house. the next day they had good time at the pool. again dh tapau food for bf and later lunch. despite the packed schedule i managed to attend an old friend's wedding. some of the kids went to kidzania thanks to wak salleh's generosity :). around 10 pm after dinner the bp gang went to sil house in wm. early...

Just a speck of dust

Sometimes in life you feel like you have mountains of problem pressing on your chest. But looking at others made you realize that yours is just a speck of dust. Am watching a korean documentary about life of young children, girls in addis ababa mountain areas. Carrying twigs and dry leaves in bags double their own weight to get few bucks to feed them n the family living in shabby hut with no basic facilities. We are feeling comfortable with our own life with dreams revolve around our self and next of kin.

a tinge of dissappoinment...

but life goes on. so k sarah finally has to accept that she is not going any where. no mr. no pther school. mama doa kakak will make the best out of whatever good things that smaam has to offer. hope kakak's batch will further improve smaam image. on the positive sides mama get to see kakak weekly ....alhamdulillah

Itulah ibaratnya, rasanya nak membesarkan anak-anak. Bermula dari mencari jodoh, menikah, mendapat anak...anak kecil, mencari sekolah yang rasanya paling mengarah kepada quran dan rasul. Di rumah dipupuk, dibelai, dijaga..diingatkan solatnya dari kecil belum mumayyiz, diajarkan iqra', diajarkan quran, diceritakan tentang Allah, rasul, tentang nabi. Guru disekolah bercerita tentang kebesaran Allah, tentang Islam, tentang perjuangan di Palestin. Qiam, Mukhayyam, usrah. Ingatan ibubapa untuk mendirikan solat, menjaga pergaulan, melazimi al-quran, mathurat.. Bercerita  tentang cabaran diluar, banyaknya hiburan hedonisme di internet, di komputer. Punca maksiat banyak diluar sana, di alam maya. Tak mungkin dapat kita ikat tangan anak-anak. Tak mungkin kita mau menunggu di sisi anak sepanjang masa. Jadi kita mengharap ada bantuan dari luar. Dari saudara mara, dari jiran, dari ahli masyarakat, dari guru, dari penguasa dan dari pemegang tampuk pemerintahan. Kita tak boleh nak kawal benda ...

KH2

Tergerak hati pagi tadi nak buat sarapan. Selalunya pagi sabtu dan ahad, the whole team akan ke Dzul cafe, makan nasi lemak, roti canai, roti telur or lontong. Selalunya lepas jogging seround di Bkt Istana. Pagi tadi tak rasa nak makan di luar. Al maklumlah kejap lagi nak ke masjid negeri dengan DH untuk KH...Before azan suboh sambal nasi lemak dah ada atas dapur, nasi lemak pun tengah menggelegak..(alhamdulillah ada bibik ligat sikit)..Azan suboh the guys went to surau, since maryam masih tidur mama pi mandi n solat. After suboh abang muaz sambung sekejap di surau mengulang hafazan dengan medic student yang hafeez...Mama expect by 8.00 am abang Muaz akan balik, then boleh lah mama bersiap ke masjid dengan DH...Mama and DH breakfast dulu..tup tup HP DH berbunyi dan mama tengok dari HOSHAS...aisehman..dah tau dah perancangan pagi ni akan berubah lagi..Tapi tak jadi masalah sebab masing-masing dah paham tanggung jawab dan beban kerja masing-masing. DH continue makan sambil dengar report ...

al kisahnya..

Ya Allah..kita ni banyak betul merancangnya. Sebenarnya petang tadi beg dah bersusun tepi dinding nak ke KL. DH dah beberapa hari memaklumkan akan ke KL minggu ni. Dalam kepala berbolak-balik. Rasanya lama dah tak turun KL. Dek kerana anak-anak kite boleh tahan ramai dengan pelbagai aktiviti tersendiri banyak yang perlu ditimbang tara bila nak bergerak jauh dari rumah ni. Abg muneer ada kelab memanah di Irsyad esok. Abang Muaz pulak ada sesi memandu untuk dapat lesen. Kakak-kakak pulak nak balik weekend. Beberapa perkara dapat diselesaikan hari ini..kakak semua dah balik rumah dan selamat pulang ke asrama. Abang Muaz pulak dapat peluang kelas memandu pukul 2 petang tadi. Mama n ayah sepatutnya dah settle KH petang tadi. Cadangnya lepas hantar kakak semua nak meluncur laju lah ke KL sekitar maghrib...Allah maha kuasa, hati yang berbolak balik decide tak jadi nak ikut DH ke KL... Makanya DH tak jadi berangkat awal ke KL..cadangnya subuh nanti bertolak lah dia ke KL.. Tup tup sms masuk ...

saturday rush..

  Tidaklah rush setara mana pun. Biasalah berkejar-kejar masa weekend. Pagi pukul 9 pergi fetch muneer di sekolah. Dia ada qiam semalam. K kaks di Maarif nak balik at 10.00. In between the time we went to Giant to stock up the kitchen and also bought some biscuits, drinks etc for the 2 kakaks. By 10.15 we were already on the way to Bkt Goh. Alhamdulillah both were ready when mama arrived. Senyum lebar terutamanye kak sarah. Balik sempat singgah di kedai IM14 beli sedikit barang dapur. Sampai rumah macam lipas kudung mama masak..Goreng ayam bertepung maruku ala opah, sayur sawi campur cendawan tiram, taucu ikan kembung dan sambal tumis udang. Kari semalam masih ada. Bibik sempat buat sambal lecan. Before 1.00 pm semua dah sendawa except abg muneer yang terbungkang keletihan, biasa lah lepas program qiam. After zohor mama rushed to masjid negeri to join the KH2..Dah banyak kereta di perkarangan masjid. Tapi kat dalam kenapa tak de pun orang..Terdapat beberapa orang lain yang sam...
