| This topic is very interesting to me..
Look here at this statement..
"The phototoxic effect of furocoumarins relies on their ability to absorb photons. After forming short-lived, high energy states, the energy is released and causes subsequent cellular damage.
Two distinct but concurrent reactions take place when psoralen-treated skin is exposed to UVA radiation. Psoralens have an absorption peak at 300 nm and an action spectrum peak at 335 nm.46 In an oxygen-independent reaction, UVA excites psoralens to a triplet state that causes covalent binding of the psoralen molecule with nuclear DNA.
Now let me ask you this.. we are tampering with our DNA if we would eat too much of these Psoralen family foods?
So a good question to ask our clients would be on their question sheet.. Does their diet consist of these types of foods?
Lets go get Don Smith to help here also ..
This is goooooood stuuffffff..
Njchica... this thread rocks..
You may be a science geek.. but we love this stuff..
So Geek ON.......
