we could synthesize into every product we consume. Only years later do we find out many were carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors, etc. First we question it, then we try to study it, then people question the studies, then we study some more, then we start seeing
actual impacts, yup, we're going to go through the same thing with nano's. HEY LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO! Put silver particles in your socks so your feet don't stink! Then later we discover we should perhaps have studied their use more PRIOR TO stuffing them
into food, socks, washing machines, personal care products...</font></div>

<strong><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'">Amid Nanotech's Dazzling Promise, Health Risks Grow March 24 2010 </span></strong><b><br>
<br>
</b>-- For almost two years, molecular biologist Bénédicte Trouiller doused the <br>
drinking water of scores of lab mice with nano-titanium dioxide, the most common <br>
nanomaterial used in consumer products today. She knew that earlier studies <br>
conducted in test tubes and petri dishes had shown the same particle could cause <br>
disease. But her tests at a lab at UCLA's School of Public Health were in vivo <br>
-- conducted in living organisms -- and thus regarded by some scientists as more <br>
relevant in assessing potential human harm. Halfway through, Trouiller became <br>
alarmed: Consuming the nano-titanium dioxide was damaging or destroying the <br>
animals' DNA and chromosomes. The biological havoc continued as she repeated the <br>
studies again and again. It was a significant finding: The degrees of DNA damage <br>
and genetic instability that the 32-year-old investigator documented can be <br>
"linked to all the big killers of man, namely cancer, heart disease, <br>
neurological disease and aging," says Professor Robert Schiestl, a genetic <br>
toxicologist who ran the lab at UCLA's School of Public Health where Trouiller <br>
did her research. <br>
