Question 1

can c-pap cleaner machines that use ozone (like soclean) be used to sanitize n95 masks?

Accepted Answer

N95 mask ?'s: It is unclear whether ozone or "SoClean" can effectively sanitize N95 masks.  It is not recommended to rely on this process to eliminate covid-19 virus.

Question 2

could i still get tan if i wear sun screan?

Accepted Answer

No: Effective sun screens stop the rays that lead to a tan.  If a tan is your goal, then being mindful of the long term consequences of sun exposure, then you must leave of the screen until the tan appears.

Question 3

is soybean oil considered a healthy oil?

Accepted Answer

No: Soybean oil is problematic for a couple of reasons.  One is that soybean crops are frequently genetically modified, and there may be health risks there.  Additionally, most mass-produced soybean oil is partially hydrogenated to increase shelf life . . . And this process also yields trans fats which are unhealthy for you in many ways.  http://tinyurl.com/avt7hol.

Question 4

is interesterified soybean oil bad for you?

Accepted Answer

Probably not good: See: http://en.Wikipedia.Org/wiki/interesterified_fat. Big known issues are Trans vs. Cis fats. Living creatures only create Cis-fats; industrial hydrogenation 1/2 Trans, 1/2 Cis. The larger issue: are humans well adapted to use newly modified forms of food molecules which may commonly take hundreds/thousands of generations to successfully adapt to? Probably Not! Look up Paleo; Loren Cordain.

Question 5

is it bad for me to eat a cup of soybeans each day?

Accepted Answer

Soybeans: Recent animal studies have shown can mimic estrogen. As a result it can diminish fertility.

Question 6

will consuming soybean increase your estrogen level?

Accepted Answer

No, but: Soybean will not increase your estrogen levels. However, soy products and supplements may contain high levels of chemicals which act similarly in your body to estrogens.

Question 7

is soybean oil healthy? (like the ones found in commercial sandwiches)

Accepted Answer

Soybean oil: Soybean oil can be healthy as long as it is organic and not hydrogenated

Question 8

i m currently wearing b l soflens daily in bc 8 6 dia 14 2 i would like to try air optix night day in bc 8 6 dia 13 8 how much will the fit differ?

Accepted Answer

Depends: You cannot base a fit just purely on the curvature (base curve) or diameter of a contact lens. The health and topography of your ocular surface play an important role, as well as the contact lens material and its shape. You should always be fitted and evaluated yearly (as you eye may change)  and for any new type of contact lens.

Question 9

what is hydrogenated soybean oil?

Accepted Answer

A bad processed fat.: Soybean oil that is hydrogenated is a cheap fat that is often used in processed foods. It is a "highly saturated" fat, which, along with trans fats, are leading culprit in the development of atherosclerosis and heart disease. We all must avoid these oils and use  fats such as omega-3 oils found in fish, or olive oil--which has recently been shown to prolong life as part of the mediterranean diet.

Question 10

what is "partially hydrogenated soybean oil"?

Accepted Answer

Hydrogenation: Soybean oil is too unstable to be used in manufacturing, so companies "hydrogenate" it [forcing hydrogen gas into it at high pressure) to extend its shelf life.  Voila -- partially hydrogenated soybean oil. Unfortunately this process also makes trans fats -- not good for your heart or blood vessels.  Partially hydrogenated anything will contain trans fats.  http://tinyurl.com/avt7hol.
