What is nanotechnology? … is it safe? © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

nano is a unit of measurement, something less than a micron in size. a nanometer is a billionth of a meter © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Nanotechnology exists primarily in 2 categories… computers/electronics pharmaceuticals & foods/beverages © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Nanotubes are tube-like Structures Formed through bonding known as Van der Waals forces. These structures are stronger than that of diamonds. There exists potential toxicity with the use of nanotubes, however, nanotubes are not applied to pharmaceuticals and nobody would consider its use in foods & beverages. computers/electronics © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

pharmaceutical and foods/beverages Nanotechnology in pharmaceuticals and foods/beverages consist of small oil and water bubbles that are suspended in liquid. Mayonnaise is an example of a micro scale, while some salad dressings which suspend oil in water can be examples of a nano scale. © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Small nano bubbles increasing an oils hydrolipohilic balance (HLB) makes the oil more water soluble and better binds to water. the more water soluble… …the smaller the bubble. © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Nanotechnology exists naturally in our body’s own fluids © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Perhaps we don’t need to “immerse” ourselves into nanotechnolgy… … it has immersed itself in us ! © 2009 VIRUN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
