Going fair, whatever the cost
by Chit Su Wai
Myanmar Times Translate This Article
25 August 2014
On 25 August 2014 Myanmar Times reported:
Many young women in Myanmar dream of having whiter skin, and will go to many lengths to get it. Society accepts fair skin as a symbol of beauty, however problematic that notion is, and at present, many products purporting to deliver whiter skin fast are becoming cheaply and widely available. That likely means more people are suffering their minor to major side effects, too. The ingredients of whitening creams vary, but some of the more problematic substances often found are hydroquinine (a bleaching agent) and high-dose steroids. The National Health Service UK reports that the creams may cause irritation and redness, as well as uneven whitening and thinning of the skin. More worrisome, high doses of topical steroids can lead to hypertension and high blood sugar, doctors told The New York Times in a 2010 story about such creams. That story also reported that some creams contain mercury, a toxic element that can cause nervous-system damage.
Global Good News service views this news as the failure of modern health systems.
Such 'flops' highlight the need for more intelligent, evolutionary, Natural Law based, life-supporting systems.
