Beauty On Syn-ake Venom 'A safer Alternative to Botox(tm)'
The Beauty section is confronting, with a story on the new Botox – snake venom!

Apparently "one female Academy-Award-winning, macrobiotic-eating yoga devotee" stocks up on Dakar's venom-based UltraLuxe-9 cream. A Swiss company, Pentapharm, which owns a 10,000-species snake farm, claims its chemical, called syn-ake, penetrates skin to block the nerve receptors that stimulate muscle movement.
