Jessica Sims (Photo courtesy of Twitter)Related PostsA black, female sailor has been honorably discharged from the Navy after officials claim she failed to obey an order to cut off her natural hair. Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (SW/AW) Jessica Sims has been a member of the Navy for 12 years but was released on Friday for refusing to cut her dreadlocks. Sims has worn her hair in dreadlocks, pulled back into a tight, neat bun, since 2005. However, according to the , officials said her hairstyle went against lawful orders and that her bun was too bulky to be worn with a gas mask.

The past <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Nylon-Stevie>Kate Spade Nylon Stevie</a>  couple weeks, not knowing what the Navy was going to do, if they were going to move forward with the discharge or keep me in, had me in a little limbo, Sims told the . In the back of my head, I knew that they weren t going to change, so it was more of just waiting for the date.

Sims <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Wedges-Sale>Michael Kors Wedges Sale</a> says she was ordered to cut her hair or wear a wig, but she defended her natural hairstyle, saying she believed it did not interfere with work regulations or activities.

I don t think I should be told that I have to straighten my hair in order to be within what they think the regulations are, and I don t think I should have to cover it up with a wig, she said.
To me, my natural hair is professional, she聽. It s all how you keep yourself up. I could just have a regular bun and not take care of that, and it could look unprofessional.

Sims discharge from the Navy follows an announcement made by <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Michael-Kors-Riding-Boots>Michael Kors Riding Boots</a> the Department of Defense claiming it was reviewing natural hairstyles such as dreadlocks, cornrows and twisted braids to be more acceptable among minority women in the military. However, for Sims, their review did not rule in her favor.

I am happy that I took the stand that I did. I still stand by it. I would do it again if I had to, she said.聽 I won t be the last one standing up fighting for this issue.

-Nearly one in 10 processed food products sold in the United States has trans fat in it 鈥?but you鈥檇 never know it by glancing at the nutritional label on the back of the package, according to released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

-The paper underscores the need to ban synthetically produced  from all food products, public health experts said. Trans fat, which is made from a manufacturing process in which hydrogen is added to oil to make it solid, has been linked to a variety of health problems, 聽but most directly to worsening <a href=http://www.museosangennaro.com/Public/wdluk.php>Cheap Christian Louboutin</a>  cholesterol levels. Even relatively small doses of just a couple of grams a day can increase so-called bad cholesterols and reduces good cholesterols, 聽studies have shown.

-Consumption of trans fat has 聽in the United States since the first major warnings emerged from doctors and public health authorities a decade ago. And several state and regional bans 鈥?including one in California 鈥?have removed trans fat from foods sold in restaurants and bakeries.
+However, according to the , officials said her hairstyle went against lawful orders and that her bun was too bulky to be worn with a gas mask.
-But trans fat is still remarkably pervasive in the American food supply, <a href=http://capstone.edu.sg/images/gucciusaonlineoutlet.php>gucci outlet</a>  according to the new study, which was done by the .
+ The past <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Nylon-Stevie>Kate Spade Nylon Stevie</a>  couple weeks, not knowing what the Navy was going to do, if they were going to move forward with the discharge or keep me in, had me in a little limbo, Sims told the . In the back of my head, I knew that they weren t going to change, so it was more of just waiting for the date.
-The study analyzed nutritional data for 4,340 products. Researchers found that 391 of those products, or about 9 percent, listed partially hydrogenated oils 鈥?the main source of manufactured trans fat 鈥?in their ingredient information. But 330 of those products claimed to have 0 grams of trans fat per serving on their nutritional label.

-The labeling may seem misleading, but it鈥檚 allowed under a federal loophole that states products with fewer than 0.6 grams per serving can claim to have 0 trans fat. And that could be dangerous for unaware consumers, doctors say. A fairly small bag of potato chips, for example, could have up to 0.5 grams of trans fat per serving, and if that bag contains three servings, a consumer could easily eat 1.5 grams of trans fat and not even know it.

-鈥淭he sense is that trans fat is mostly gone from foods. And what we see is there鈥檚 still a lot being used in packaged foods,鈥?said Christine Curtis, assistant commissioner in the New York City health department and an author of the study. 鈥淲e think consumers are unknowingly consuming artificial trans fat and <a href=http://www.symbiose.ca/images/christianlouboutin.gwij.php>Christian Louboutin Outlet</a>  the recommendation is to consume as little as possible.鈥?

-The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is currently  that would officially deem partially hydrogenated oils as unsafe, thereby forcing them to be removed from all food products. In the meantime, public health and nutrition experts say, consumers should be wary of any processed foods 鈥?and read labels very carefully. If a product claims to have 0 trans fat, it鈥檚 time to read the ingredient list and look for the words 鈥減artially hydrogenated鈥?or the letters 鈥淧HO鈥?(for partially hydrogenated oils).
