Emu Oil For Anti Wrinkle !Written by Jasmine Yap
What is Emu Oil? Emu oil was discovered by Aborigines many thousands of years ago as a skin moisturizer, antiseptic, and as an aid in relief of sunburn, muscular aches and joint pain, as well as aiding in healing of injuries. The emu oil is rendered from a thick layer of fat on back yielding 5 - 7 liters of unsaturated, non-toxic, highly penetrating oil. Over ten years of research done at Global Canyon Ranch (Texas) has revealed that emu oil has unique thermodynamic properties. Combined with other ingredients, oil can be used to machine stainless steel much more rapidly, thus considerable savings in labor results. The emu oil is greatest emollient in world. It penetrates skin better than mink or any other natural oil, and lacks long chain fatty acids which is conducive to a long shelf-life. Emu Oil is considered a complete source of essential fatty acids. Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) are fats that humans cannot manufacture or synthesize. We must obtain them from our diet. Like vitamins and minerals they are essential to body's functions. Incredibly, this amazing oil contains omega 3,6,9 essential fatty acids and is a powerful skin moisturizer and possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties.

Most likely, it wasn’t that long ago. You may even drink several cans or bottles each day. In U.S, carbonated soft drinks are a huge business. Every year, they generate more than $50 billion in annual sales. Two companies – Coca-Cola and PepsiCo -- dominate soda market. They are in a constant battle for market share of product – a conflict known as “Cola War.” Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually for advertising. Not surprisingly, companies are always looking for new markets. And, increasingly, they are directing their attention to adolescents and children. For decades, schools have allowed soda to be sold in on-site vending machines. So, generating income for schools from sale of soda is not a new policy. However, in early 1990s, pouring-rights contracts emerged. These put a different spin on sale of soda in schools. And, over years, they have increasingly gained in popularity. In return for exclusive sale of one-company’s product, pouring-rights contracts give school districts large lump-sum payments and extra payments and/or gifts over a period of five or 10 years. The contracts provide additional incentives for consumption levels that surpass quotas. So, they tend to encourage consumption of higher amounts of soda, even by youngest students. In one of most extravagant contracts, a 53-school district in Colorado, gave up its Pepsi vending machines and signed an $8 million, 10 year agreement with Coca-Cola that included cash bonuses when sale targets were exceeded and a new car for a senior with high grades and perfect attendance. But, even smaller contracts tend to be generous. The goal is to create brand loyalty among young people – a loyalty that could continue throughout their lives. Without a doubt, administrators in cash-strapped school districts have a litany of reasons to be enticed. But, adherence to contracts may be taken to extremes. For example, a Georgia student was suspended when he wore a shirt with a Pepsi logo to a student government-sponsored “Coke Day” rally.
