Sun Protection you can wear - Fashion combo's for Men and Woman!

Before slathering on sunscreen by the pool or on the golf course. Consider this — another study suggests you could be injecting chemicals into your body.

For the second time this year, researchers at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have released a study showing that many popular sunscreen products release chemicals into the body through the skin at levels beyond what the agency considers healthy.

The FDA gets concerned if ingredients are found in the bloodstream at a level of 0.5 nanograms per milliliter or higher. At that level, the FDA says chemicals need to undergo rigorous analysis to ensure they don’t have harmful health risks.

In its most recent study released this week, the FDA said six chemicals found in sunscreen products were found at levels ranging from 3.3 to 258.1 per milliliter, depending on the product and how it was applied.

Earlier this year, the FDA released a study that found sunscreen chemicals could enter the body after just one day’s use and were at much higher levels than recommended. The agency analyzed four off-the-shelf sunscreen products and found that they “resulted in plasma concentrations that exceeded the threshold established by the FDA for potentially waiving some nonclinical toxicology studies for sunscreens.”

Both FDA studies focused on six chemicals commonly found in over-the-counter sunscreen products — avobenzone, oxybenzone, octocrylene, homosalate, octisalate, and octinoxate. The agency said previous research has identified those chemicals as having potential health risks, but it concedes that the findings were not conclusive.

The Top 10 European Tour Moments to Thrill you in 2014!

There is no doubt Rory McIlroy was the dominant player on the European Tour and throughout world golf.

Here are the top 10 Highlights.

Top 10 European Tour Moments to Thrill you!

1. THIS ONE’S FOR YOU, MUM:

Rory McIlroy’s Open Championship victory at Hoylake was the highlight of the European season. He was simply peerless at Royal Liverpool. Even though he grew up in Northern Ireland, McIlroy isn’t really a big fan of links golf. This win proved beyond doubt, if there even was any, that he’s the complete player. Oh, and that he’s also a mummy’s boy.

2. HO HUM, EUROPE WINS ANOTHER RYDER CUP:

Europe winning the Ryder Cup is becoming as routine as when the United States had a stranglehold on Samuel Ryder’s prized chalice. This time there was no miracle needed. The Europeans had this one in the bag thanks to the domination of the foursomes.

3. McGINLEY’S MASTER CLASS:

Quite simply, Paul McGinley is the best captain ever to lead a European side. His attention to detail was outstanding, and he fully deserved all the accolades thrown at him. He’s going to be a tough act to follow.

4. KAYMER’S DEMOLITION JOB:

The German probably doesn’t get the credit he deserves because golf is still a relatively minor sport in his homeland. He’d garner major headlines if he were British or American. He deserved plenty of column inches for the way he took the field apart at the U.S. Open to win his second major.

5. RORY WINS PGA CHAMPIONSHIP:

McIlroy punctuated his season with his second PGA Championship victory. Just when we thought he’d stumble short of the finish line after leading for each of the first three rounds, he goes 5 under for the final 12 holes to prove why he’s the world’s best. Oh, and that 284-yard 3-wood to the 10th hole that set up an eagle wasn’t bad either.

Bettinardi Putters – are they worth the money?

My own thoughts are that if a putter works, it is priceless.

Almost all Gary Players Major Championships were won with a putter he paid $5 for in a “Sale” barrel in a golf shop while playing in Japan with Arnold Palmer.

Bobby Locke, who is still regarded as one of the best putters who ever lived, played with hickory shafted banged up blade putter and won 4 British Opens with it.

Bettinardi Putters - are they worth the money?

Bettinardi Signature 10.

We all look forward to different things around the holidays. Some look forward to seeing family and friends. Many impatiently await the return of egg nog, while others revel in the rebroadcasting of Rudolph, Bumbles, and the other animated holiday favorites. I too look forward to that cadre of holiday returnees, but my true anticipation lies not for yule and airing of grievances. For me, the frosty season is not about the cheer, it’s about the gear.

While we have seen a good portion of the 2015 drivers, and a few sets of irons, we have not yet seen any of the new year’s putters. Today we change that. We get the putter lover in on the 2015 golf gear anticipation. Today, we get to see what 2015 holds forBettinardi Golf.

We are not going to check out just one of the putters or even one of the lines.

Instead, we have all of them. We will show you the new Studio Stocks, the Queen B’s, a new Kuchar Model, a pair of DASS Signature Models, and something brand new, andinnovative from them that is unique enough that it needs it’s own new product line.

We’ll let you read what Bettinardi says about the new putters, see in-hand photos from all angles, and give you a touch of inside the ropes play testing. We’ve got all you need to know about what Bettinardi has in store for the coming year.

Let’s get it started with the new 2015 Studio Stocks.

Check out the rest of this article and see these Studio Stocks right here!
