There hundreds of medical studies completed on health benefits of ultraviolet light, however, prevailing medical establishments continue to maintain that UV is dangerous to our health. It is agreed that too much UV is harmful, however, a basic amount is needed to support life and immune system, just like any other vital nutrient. Today we spend most of our time indoors, and under artificial lighting. Most indoors lighting (homes, offices, and factories) has inadequate brightness and lacks spectral components of sunlight. Additionally, most light bulbs give off a gross distortion of visible light spectrum, emitting strong peaks of light energy in yellow, red and infrared portions of spectrum. That is why most lighting in homes and offices, etc. looks yellowish and dingy.

Natural Full Spectrum fluorescent lighting simulates full color and ultraviolet spectrum of sunlight, and reveals detail and color accurately. It is a beautiful all-purpose white light - a pleasing fluorescent tube that operates in existing fixtures for complete lighting of offices, stores, factories, schools, hospitals, banks, or wherever fluorescent light is used.

Natural Full Spectrum Fluorescent lights have proven capability to: Blend with natural light from windows and skylights; Reveal detail and colors accurately. Improve seeability; Help improve performance and productivity of people; Excellent for Pet and Plant lighting. Simulation of natural light means that environments lit with natural full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs can blend perfectly with natural light from windows and skylights. The eye does not have to adapt to a new spectrum, color temperature or color rendition when one goes from outdoors or a naturally lighted environment to an indoor environment lighted with Vita-Lite. Interior colors are true and details are rendered accurately. Natural light energizes environment for people. They generally feel better, are more alert, see better and perform better. In a survey conducted to determine impact of full spectrum lighting in workplace it was found that: People felt more relaxed and less fatigued with full spectrum lighting than Cool White, with higher eye comfort; The subjects perceived full spectrum lighting as significantly more pleasant, natural, bright and stimulating; Additionally, they rated their seeing tasks as more distinct under full spectrum lighting, and their work tasks as easier and more satisfying.

Not all "Full Spectrum" light bulbs are true Full Spectrum - noon daylight bulbs. Light bulbs are rated by 1) Lumen Output; CRI (Color Rendering Index); and Color Temperature (Kelvin Degrees). These ratings are required to determine type of light bulb is emitting. Natural light has a unique spectrum, which includes a balance of UV and visible color regions. This spectrum balance of UV and Visible light is necessary for lamps to be called "Full Spectrum". Therefore, if spectrum from light bulbs closely matches this balanced spectrum of natural noon-day light, such bulbs can accurately and legitimately be described as Full Spectrum. Otherwise, output of bulbs that does not meet this definition cannot and should not be described as Full Spectrum. Most so-called "Full Spectrum" incandescent bulbs and neodymium) are not true "Full Spectrum" and do not match high quality full spectrum fluorescent light bulbs.

Spectral output analysis clearly shows that these types of bulbs do not meet Full Spectrum requirements. These type bulbs have a rare earth element (neodymium) in glass that reduces amount of yellow energy from an incandescent filament, thus producing a unique color-rendering lamp. Several of so-called "Full Spectrum" incandescent manufacturers do not list ratings for Color Temperature, CRI, Lumens, on their "Full Spectrum" incandescent bulbs. Most incandescent and other "Full Spectrum" bulbs have various color tones (pink, purple, etc.). Our products are highest quality true full spectrum products available. All our products are rated with a Color Temp. (K), (CRI), and Lumen Output varies, depending on bulb. There is no guessing to Lumen Level, CRI, and Color Temperature (K). Furthermore, spectral analysis closely matches noonday sunlight and a balanced UV, which incandescent bulbs do not have. Naturallighting.com specializes in natural full spectrum lighting. Other products include our exclusive Ergonomic Desk Lamps, Ultra Compact SunPro and Vita-Lite Spiral Bulbs, Ultra-Lite, SunPro, Natural Light, SunPro light boxes for SAD - Season Affective Disorder, Grow Lights, new high output T6 lamps, etc.

Naturallighting.com was chosen as "the best retail site" for full spectrum lighting by Glen Hauge - The Master Handy Man, Full-Spectrum bulbs that emulate sunlight are worth extra cost (Detroit News, De).

Just when things seemed clear and settled, a malicious statement of New York's Mayor brought doctor's death into attention once more. Wrongly believing that he is off record, Michael Bloomberg, Mayor, joked around dr. Atkins' death. He called him "fat", saying that all information about his head injury are "bullshit". Thus, Mayor Bloomberg insinuated that Atkins may have died from weight-related problems, not from head injuries. And all these just after he had sent widow a condolence letter. Before and after dr. Atkins passed away

Dr. Atkins' life was remarkable. His studies and efforts regarding proper nourishment, diet and an active lifestyle really helped people. Lately, dr Atkins had begun to receive international medical recognition. Everyone following dr Atkins diet had to admit that it really works; many people were satisfied and grateful for losing weight and attaining a new slim figure along with a new lifestyle. Without a doubt, anyone undertaking a diet - any diet - should be aware of some risks. Health risks. On other side, Atkins diet which is a low carb eating regimen troubled food industry. While Atkins meals (high protein foods, high fat) and Atkins supplements became notorious, others suffered a severe decline. Bread and high-carbohydrate foods manufacturers were removed from market. Pizza and bread are not for Atkins dieters: those 30 million people who followed Atkins have known it for about 30 years.

it is hard to say how Atkins food chains and Atkins Nutritionals will evolve from now on. Will Atkins diet still be a popular one, after author's death? How about health officials? Will they intensify their efforts in persuading dieters to drop off diet? How about competition? They might be thrilled with Atkins' absence, since he was core of low-carb diet craze ?

So far there have been some signs of distress for Atkins Nutritionals - which is highly delivering high-protein products and nutritional supplements. It is stated that company is dealing with some difficulties and is reducing staff. Atkins Nutritionals in Ronkonkoma, New York, employs 370. Nevertheless, general opinion is that because diet always had spectacular weight-loss results (especially on Induction phase), people will always want to try it.
