Some studies show at least some nanoparticles can cause cancer because they disrupt normal physiology in cells. A nanoparticle is made often of a small number of molecules and physical and chemical properties of the nanoparticles are no longer as the same as the individual molecules. Watch nanoparticles in your foods and cosmetic products. http://www.foodconsumer.org/newsite/Sci-Tech/food_and_nutrition_research_briefs_1910100714.html Sci-Tech Wed, 20 Oct 2010 00:13:00 +0000 Food and Nutrition Research Briefs - October 2010U.S. Department of AgricultureAgricultural Research ServiceKim Kaplan, (301) 504-1637, Kim.Kaplan@ars.usda.gov____________________________________________________ContentsLuteolin Stars in Study of Healthful Plant CompoundsNutrition's Potential to foodconsumer.org
