IF you are Eurasian does that mean your asian.

If a Eropean give birth in Asia is the child Eurasian. Or do you have to be a 2nd or 3rd generation European born in Asia to be a Eurasian.

100% British born in South Africa like the 2 generations before him consider them self African. Woudl he be Afropean.

IF there is a bit of Asian in the genepool would he be Afroeurasian?


Just because the bottle says Extra Virgin does not mean it is true Extra Virgin.
As SMS pointed out the USDA controls lables on goods on the States.
I am not sure of the methodology used to deem something Extra Virgin.

There is a good chance that the USDA simply requires 10% of the contents to be genuine Extra Virgin. THe rest can be peanut oil or what ever you want.

In many cases labels in the states may say one thing but one really has to be a dietician to understand the labels.

What does that mean exactly?
Perhaps you didn't write what you meant, but 'Beware thought' is strange syntax and you didn't write:

not all oil LABELED extra virgin is actually extra virgin. You wrote something else entirely:
not all extra virgin oil is extra virgin
All this discussion about grades and labeling is beside the point. The way I read it, your phrasing lacked some necessary qualifiers, which the reader had to fill-in.

To my way of thinking all extra virgin olive oil IS extra virgin. Just as all pink pigs are pink pigs. The fact that another country may call it something else, or someone may put a sticker on if that says 'blue cow' doesn't change that it is a pink pig.

Judaspriest, sorry to hijack your thread.

We never used any baby oil on our children. I found we just didn't need it. If you think their skin is that dry after a bath, I'd reconsider what you're using to wash them with, might be a bit harsh.

Wow...this post really got off track. I have 4 kids and have always used a local product called Telon oil for my babies. Its brillant. If they are having wind and you rub it on their bellies it will help them to clear it off. But otherwise it is just a good natural oil for kids. You can buy it at any Jamu shop, they are in Parkway Parade, Jurong Point and quite a few other places, as well as anywhere in around Geyland market and Joo Chiat shops. The Yellow labelled bottle is the best.

We use California Baby products and love it. There's also a great Burt's Bees Vitamin E body & bath oil. Ingredients are: sweet almond oil, lemon oil, wheat germ oil, tocopheryl acetate & tocopherol (vitamin E), rosemary extract.

Can't help you on where to get it as most of our products are shipped here from back home.
