Here are some handy definitions for nerds like me who aren’t satisfied with “sugar” being the definition of sucrose:
Sucrose: a pure crystalline disaccharide extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets and consisting of glucose and fructose joined together in the molecule.
Fructose: a crystalline monosaccharide found in sweet fruits and in honey; fruit sugar.
Dextrose: a right-handed form of glucose found in plants and animals and in the human blood, and made by the hydrolysis of starch with acids or enzymes.
Nutrition: nutritious, nourishing; a nutritious ingredient or substance in food.
Nourish: to feed or sustain (any plant or animal) with substances necessary to life and growth; to foster, develop, promote.
Essential: of or constituting the intrinsic, fundamental nature of something. Basic, inherent; aboslute, complete, perfect.
Natural: of or arising from nature; in accordance with what is found or expected in nature; produced or existing in nature; not artificial or manufactured.
Corn Syrup: a syrup made from cornstarch; it is a mixture of dextrose, maltose and dextrins.
Honey: a thick, sweet, syrupy substance that bees make as food from the nectar of flowers and store in honeycombs.

A recent national survey conducted with 512 people by the UK’s first boys skincare range; New OXY, revealed some interesting findings about boys attitudes towards self-image.
An extensive questionnaire was circulated amongst 16-24 year olds across the UK to gain further insights into the pressures on young people in today’s highly competitive, image-obsessed world. Fashion, beauty and the opposite sex have always been a pre-occupation of self-conscious teens, but New OXY creators wondered if in the era of celebrity adoration - how confident are kids feeling?
Across the UK, teens from Sheffield worry the most about their appearance with 56% polled admitting it’s the most important thing in their life. Southampton youths are most embarrassed by bad skin as teenagers at 56%. Questions about shopping habits show that parents in Edinburgh have the highest input into their kids’ purchases, as 79% of Edinburgh boys had their underwear bought by their mum. Glasgow rounds out the survey - topping the scales as the city whose youth is most worried about the opposite sex - at a rate of 60%.
Here are some of the findings from the major UK cities;

A recent study using state-of-the-art genetic testing shows that an all natural skin care product called Ambra-Lift by Elina Organics activates Sirtuin-1, a key anti-aging gene. Until now only Resveratrol, a substance found in the skin of grapes and red wine, has been known to naturally stimulate Sirtuin-1 in humans. Ambra-Lift contains no Resveratrol.
The scientific study shows that Ambra-Lift stimulates Sirtuin-1 by using one of the latest genomic testing tools available. It’s called quantitative real time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and is able to imeasure genes turned “on” or “off” by skin care products like Ambra-Lift.
The genomic test results for Ambra-Lift are compelling:
- Elina Ambra-Lift increases the expression of Sirtuin-1, a key anti-aging gene, in a statistically significant way.
- Elina Ambra-Liftactivates the expression of specific collagens, keratins and matrix genes that promote anti-wrinkle effects in a statistically significant way,
- Elina Ambra-Lift activates anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory genes involved in protective cellular mechanisms in a statistically significant way.
- Exposure to Elina Ambra-Lift produces statistically significant changes in 47 out of 91 genes tested over a 48-hour period.
Please Click here to see the complete research results.
“This genomic study demonstrates how my organic formulation interacts with the biology of the skin,” says Elina Fedotova, CEO of Elina Organics. “I’m so excited to see that hard science proves that Ambra-Lift has definite anti-aging properties that help rejuvenate and improve the skin.”
While Ambra-Lift contains no Resveratrol, one of its key ingredients is Baltic Amber. The healing properties of Baltic Amber have been known for ages. Roman ladies of the court used to play with it, holding it in their hands and stroking it to maintain a youthful look. In addition to Baltic Amber, Ambra-Lift contains other beneficial ingredients including Sea Buckthorn Oil, Soybean Lecithin Liposomes, Amino Acids, Vitamins C, A, and E; Coenzyme Q-10, and extracts of the finest organic botanicals.
“While other products may show instant lifting properties, it’s mostly a temporary effect, achieved by chemicals that cause the skin to swell and stretch for a few hours,” says Elina. “Elina Ambra-Lift uses no artificial chemicals. Its powerful blend of all natural nutrients and antioxidants, along with its patent-pending extract of Baltic Amber, provide immediate as well as long-term effects that energize cells and stimulate the skin to become more firm and supple.”
