Kate Middleton intentional style mistake proves she’s ‘mastered the art of fashion’

Long gone are the coat dresses for regular public engagements, Kate, Princess of Wales has established her go-to work wear pieces consisting of fine knits or blouses, sometimes with a jacket or long coat over the top, and smart trousers. In recent years, Kate has swapped the traditional button-down shirt for blouses with silk ties at the neckline, but in 2019 she made a fashion faux pas.

In March 2019 when visiting the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre, Kate chose a beautiful purple blouse.

The top was from designer brand Gucci, and it was its pussy bow silk crepe blouse in violet orchid.

Cancer warning: ‘Forever chemicals’ linked to a risk of liver cancer

Cancer occurs when a trigger causes cells in different parts of the body to proliferate uncontrollably. Smoking and older age are the biggest risk factors for this malignancy, but the list of precursors is growing. According to new findings, a set of ubiquitous chemicals found in several cosmetics may be linked to the development of liver cancer.

The findings of a new study, conducted by researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC, suggest exposure to synthetic “forever” chemicals could be linked to liver cancer.

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), which belongs to a class of forever chemicals known as polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), was found to be implicated in the development of non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common liver cancer.

The forever chemicals, so-called because they are broken down very slowly by the body, are found in a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
