In nanotechnology is the expense billionth of a meter, they cover all aspects of life from food to medicine, clothing and space. Imagine hundreds of microcomputers width of a strand of hair, programmed for the solution of specific tasks... in your body. Pleasant sounds?

Engineering at the molecular level can be a dream come true corporations. However, in a long term relationship nanoparticles inside your body has been studied poorly, especially in regard to health issues. In defiance of generating huge revenues new industry there is a growing mass Toxicological information demonstrating that the products of nanotechnology in their consumption can cause brain damage (as demonstrated by the example of largemouth bass), and therefore must be a full vetting of its security.

Nanoparticles can penetrate the skin, which is highly suggestive of the potential unnatural interaction with the immune system, or to enter the bloodstream. So, some sunscreen on the shelves today contain nanoparticles, which are able to penetrate the skin, to move between the bodies of unknown health effects. Regarding the application of nanoparticles in cosmetics FDA (Department of quality control of food products and medicines of the USA; approx. mixednews.ru) uttered a few rules.

Thomas fans of the Australian national University, which is a fellow of the Australian research Council, which deals with health issues in nanotechnology for General use, reported that found in research facts meaningful and speak in favor of the necessity of mandatory labelling, and the producers should collect accurate data on the safety of their products. "The findings show that nanoparticles have the ability to damage living cells, and in this case shall apply the precautionary principle," he said.

According to the world's leading analyst of industrial nanotechnologies, the company Helmut Kaiser Consultancy, in 2005 in the world market was available about 300 foodstuffs produced using nanotechnology, while the volume of the market was estimated at 5.4 billion US dollars. So it was then.

And by 2015, she predicts, nanotechnology will be applied already 40 percent of the food industry. According to these consultants made using nanotechnology food, with the appropriate nutrient composition, preserving the same taste and texture that is produced in a natural way, by 2040 will be in the order of things, the norm.

It is obvious that nanotechnology is already present in some food and cosmetic products (including, anti-aging and sun care products). Range of "intelligent" packaging and tracking. Invisible to the naked eye and part of microscopes), edible nanoobjects with a bar code in addition can not only detect early damage, but also improve the taste of food or just like, what it's called. Manufacturers to initiate rubbing their hands, because the availability of food will not depend on scarce resources, bad weather and problems with water, etc. Modern way to feed the world.

And do not expect a label with information about the content of nanoparticles in your products. Although sellers with delight will paint the charms of the disappearance of wrinkles or perfect coloring of your face, there are still health and the reverse side of the coin.

Where is the public debate on the question of the designation of the presence of nanoparticles in your products, cosmetics or related risks? Probably, in Karaganda... it Seems that political leaders are still debating on mandatory labelling of GMOs.

When laboratory rats deprived of food, and then give them the option to eat natural potatoes or genetically modified, they ran straight to natural. And only when they have no choice but to die from hunger, they undertake GMO potatoes.

So next time you come across anything with the word "smart"... think of what it could mean. Learn what you can about the sources that involves internal or external use in relation to your body. Smart mini micro computers to manage your skin and body fluids?
