 "A similar interaction occurs between closely-related DEA and triethanolamide (TEA) derivatives and nitrites, and it was subsequently recognized that DEA, commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products, also interacts with nitrite preservatives or contaminants in any product, or with nitrogen oxides in the air, to form NDELA on the skin (6). In 1997 studies showed that DEA is also a frank carcinogen: painting mouse skin with DEA, or its fatty acid derivatives, induces liver and kidney cancers ( 7,8)."- Samuel S.

 "Estrogen and progesterone both get transformed into dozens of hormonal derivatives, some of which are of great interest to neuroscientists because they regulate the brain's major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters—glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). During the hormonal fluctuations of the premenstrual phase, the levels of these derivatives relative to one another can get out of whack, which can lead to too much excitement of the nerve cells in the brain's emotional circuitry."- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |
 "High-fructose corn syrup, one of the most health-damaging derivatives of corn, is frequently used in sport drinks and other processed foods requiring a cheap sweetener. Corn derivatives are used in upward of 90 percent of processed food, and people who eat a standard diet often develop an intolerance and sensitivity to it. However, if your body accepts corn with no adverse reaction, there is no need to avoid healthful whole corn, such as fresh corn on the cob. wheat and gluten
Gluten, the protein found in wheat, is difficult for some people to digest."- Brendan Brazier, The Thrive Diet: The Whole Food Way to Lose Weight, Reduce Stress, and Stay Healthy for Life (Get the book.) |
 "Catechin and its derivatives appear to be antimicrobial (Kajiya et al., 2004).
Nodulation is a special case of plant-microbe signaling. Nodulation is the formation of nitrogen-fixing nodules in roots of legumes (beans, peas, alfalfa, clover, for example) and Parasponia, a nonlegume, by bacteria in the Rhizobiaceae, and occurs when the host plant and the rhizobium form a symbiotic relationship."- Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) "Qualitative and quantitative monitoring of flavonoid derivatives, together with information about the level of transcription and protein expression, enables the elucidation of gene functions (Fiehn, 2001; Hall et al., 2002; Sumner et al., 2003; Fernie et al, 2004). Another challenge in the field is to establish the flavonoid conjugate profiles in genetically modified plant lines, e.g. engineered for higher resistance against environmental conditions (pathogenic microorganisms, insects, and physical stress factors such as temperature, drought, or UV light)." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) |
| "These findings are consistent with the well-established ability of green tea derivatives to prevent oxidative [free radical] damage." (19)
In an unrelated clinical trial done in 2002, study participants topically applied date palm oil to their eyelids twice daily for five weeks. Researchers found that "a statistically significant reduction in wrinkle surface (27.6 %) and wrinkle depth was achieved." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.) "Vitamin A or carotenoids, and their synthetic retinoid derivatives (including retinol and tretinoin), are the most common cosmeceuticals on the market. As antioxidants, they protect cells from free radical damage. Local application of the synthetic tretinoin (vitamin A acid) is used to bleach pigmented spots, smooth wrinkles, and reduce sunlight damage. 2. Mica. Mica is the name for a group of fine crystallized minerals that create a light glow in facial cosmetics by increasing the reflection of light. They can be colored or colorless." - Samuel S.

"In 1997 studies showed that DEA is also a frank carcinogen: painting mouse skin with DEA, or its fatty acid derivatives, induces liver and kidney cancers ( 7,8). A Roadmap of Chemical Dangers The following tables cover the common categories of toxins found in cosmetics and personal care products. Some of these will be familiar from reading this chapter; others we'll dicuss in more detail later on. Chemicals listed in these tables will be referenced throughout the remainder of this book, particularly in Part Two: Identifying Product Dangers." - Samuel S.

 "Today most of the products on our supermarket candy racks are fruit imitations or derivatives: Swedish Berries, Jolly Ranchers and Skittles. Chocolate, as Jaitt pointed out, comes from the cacao fruit. Bubble gum used to come from chicle, the latex of the sapodilla tree, also known for its sweet chico fruits.
Aztecs had been chewing chicle long before the Europeans arrived. In the early twentieth century, American gum manufacturers hired thousands of South American bubble gum harvesters, called chicleros, to gather the sapodilla's sap."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
 "Plant sterols are naturally occurring cholesterol derivatives from vegetable oils, nuts, soy, corn, woods, and beans. The hydrogenation of plant sterols produces stands. Sterols and stanols are often referred to generically by the term phytosterols. Phytosterols have a chemical structure similar to cholesterol, and the consumption of these plant sterols reduces the absorption of cholesterol and thus reduces circulating cholesterol levels. Even modest additions have been found to lower total blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol by about 10 percent."- Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Progestin is the term applied to the synthetic derivatives, which differ in biochemical structure from progesterone. Progestins are the synthetic hormones used in conventional hormone replacement therapy and birth control pills and are what often account for the side effects that some women feel when taking these medications such as irritability, depression, bloating, and mood swings. These side effects are due to the progestins' tendency to cause water retention, affect brain chemistry, and alter other steroid pathways." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) |
 "The oil derivatives were erroneously used while the oil was being refined into a consumer product. This rapeseed oil made it to the tables of tens of thousands of consumers, and "toxic oil syndrome" burst onto the scene. Twenty thousand individuals fell ill with a lupuslike autoimmune disease, and 1,200 people died.
Keeping track of the vast array of food additives in use by the food manufacturing industry today and making sure that they don't contain traces of harmful chemicals is a heady job."- Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) |
| "The isolation of target compounds from plant extracts with different solvents permitted one to distinguish two groups of compounds: oligomers of flavan-3-ols and a series of their 5-O-glucosylated derivatives. It was demonstrated that the fragmentation obtainable in ToF analyzers due to the postsource decay (PSD) technique permits the achievement of fragment-protonated molecules of flavan-3-ol trimers and tetramers together with sequence information (Behrens et al., 2003).

 "Most insulation material, moulded products, and paints contain formaldehyde derivatives, too.
Environmental/food toxins: Many babies are born toxic due to the toxic load of their mothers. Blood samples from newborns contained an average of 287 toxins, including mercury, fire retardants, pesticides and Teflon chemicals, according to a 2004 study by the Environmental Working Group (EWG).
Teflon: This chemical in cooking pots is also carcinogenic. Food should never be prepared in Teflon cookware. Use glass, cast iron, carbon steel, titanium, and enamel cookware."- Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) |
| "The term natural progesterone, now more popularly called bio-identical progesterone, refers to progesterone made from derivatives found in the Mexican wild yam or in soybeans. It is important to realize that commercial bio-identical progesterone is made in a manufacturing laboratory by extracting either diosgenin from Mexican wild yam or beta-sitosterol from soybeans, then converting the natural substance into progesterone through various enzymatic and biochemical reactions. This progesterone is biochemically identical to the progesterone produced by a woman's ovaries." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) |

 "The study also showed that L-carnitine and its derivatives protect the heart against intracellular damage associated with the buildup of lactic acid that normally happens during heart attacks. In fact, hearts that were treated with any of the carnitines were able to tolerate up to four induced heart attacks in succession, whereas the controls were not able to do so. These results are extremely important when considering treatment of ischemic heart diseases.
One group of researchers decided to see what help carnitine could provide in acute cardiac situations."- Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "All three carnitine derivatives were used to see if there were differences in their metabolic effect on the heart. In the control hearts treated only with physiologic solution the energy level of the hearts declined rapidly during ischemia, and there was only a small increase in cardiac energy during reperfusion. All three of the carnitines markedly improved recovery of energy compounds in the tissue. L-carnitine quickly increased energy levels, and the increase was maintained throughout the sixty-minute recovery period." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "In one study, myocardial tissue from twenty-five cardiac transplant recipients with end-stage congestive heart failure and twenty-one control donor hearts was analyzed for concentrations of total carnitine, free carnitine, and carnitine derivatives. Compared to controls, the concentration of carnitines in the heart muscle was significantly lower in patients, and the level of carnitine in the tissue was directly related to the ejection fraction of the patients' hearts. Ejection fraction, remember, measures the amount of blood volume pumped from the heart with each heartbeat." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "This amounts to a USP validated process that allows the molecular bonding of certain amino acids with certain carnitine derivatives. I will describe the various forms of carnitine to explain the reasoning that has gone into this expanding technology in this section. The accumulated body of scientific literature shows that L-carnitine precursors such as glycine, arginine, and lysine are related to carnitine's metabolic performance. Sigma-tau has developed an entirely new library of distinct forms of L-carnitine that deliver L-carnitine, along with a specific amino acid, in one molecule." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) |
 "The most common are used in anticonvulsant therapy, particularly pheny-toin, barbiturate derivatives, and carbamazepine. Although the exact mechanisms require further study, it is thought that these drugs result in greater inactivation of 1,25-dihy-droxyvitamin D by inducing the enzyme 24-hydroxylase in the kidney [33].
2. Osteoporosis The mild, secondary hyperparathyroidism that occurs with vitamin D insufficiency (i.e., levels of 25(OH)D below 80 nmol/liter) may cause increased bone turnover and bone loss—a clinical picture compatible with osteoporosis [59, 69]."- Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "This vitamin represents a group of tocol and tocotrienol derivatives that may have specific biological mechanisms of action [91]. Alpha-tocopherol is the most biologically active tocopherol and has been the major tocopherol considered in dietary calculations of vitamin E intake. Despite the lower biological activity of other tocopherols, such as beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol, their presence in the diet in amounts two to four times that of alpha-tocopherol makes them potentially important chemopreventive agents [91]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Concentrations of these compounds and the metabolic derivatives of them can be measured in plasma and urine by liquid chroma-tography/mass spectrometry [18]. In addition, dithiocarba-mates (conversion products of isothiocyanates and their metabolites) can be quantified readily in urine, following extraction and measurement by high-performance liquid TABLE 2 Phytochemical Content of Plant Food Families and Select Plant Foods* Plant Foods Flavonoids Isoflavones Lignans Carotenoids Organosulfides Isothiocyanates Terpenes Phytates Cruciferae6 / / / / / Rutaceaec / ?" - Ann M.

 "Testosterone and its precursors and derivatives are anabolic steroids that promote the buildup of muscle mass. Testosterone is used to treat decreased libido and to increase muscle mass in athletes. Taking testosterone supplements, however, can actually depress libido, and shuts off sperm production, causing infertility that can take months to recover from. In some cases recovery does not occur. Testosterone also leads to psychiatric side effects, including suicide. Other side effects are hypertension, tendon ruptures, liver tumors, and development of male characteristics in women."- J.

| "This is of special importance in the profiling of flavonoid glycosides in research directed toward plant functional genomics or during physiological and biochemical studies that need information about all classes of flavonoid conjugates present, even the thermally labile acylated derivatives. On the other hand, in the phytochemical analysis of plant species or phytopharmaceutical studies of plant material, the repeatable isolation of all biologically active flavonoid aglycones with a good yield is more important. In these cases, more drastic extraction conditions are acceptable." - Erich Grotewold, The Science of Flavonoids (Get the book.) |
