Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #51168 July Prediction Wrinkle Cure
Instructions
Barrie  Finning's,  a  professor  at  Monash  University's  college  of  pharmacy  in  Melbourne,  and  PhD  student  Anita  Schneider,  recently  tested  a  new  wrinkle  cure.  Twice  daily,  20  male  and  female  volunteers  applied  a  liquid  containing  Myoxinol,  a  patented    of  okra  (Hibiscus  esculentus)  seed,  to  one  side  of  their  faces.  On  the  other  side  they  applied  a  similar  liquid  without  Myoxinol.  Every  week  for  a  month  their  wrinkles  were  tested  by  self-assessment,  photography  and  the  size  of  depressions  made  in  silicon  moulds.  The  results  were  impressive.  After  a  month  the    and  number  of  wrinkles  on  the  Myoxinol-treated  side  were  reduced  by  approximately  27  per  cent.  But  Finnin's  research,  commissioned  by  a  cosmetics  company,  is  unlikely  to  be  published  in  a  scientific  .  It's  hard  to  even  find  studies  that  show  the  active  ingredients  in  cosmetics  penetrate  the  skin,  let  alone  more  comprehensive  research  on  their  effects.  Even  when    studies  are  commissioned,  companies  usually  control  whether  the  work  is  published  in  the  traditional  scientific  literature.
