I have heard of estrogen dominance in the water and in various foods, hygiene and cleaning products as well as plastics, but had never before heard of this! :(

I wonder how much of this my kids have been inadvertently given/exposed. I think I will throw away or give away all canned food and start over from scratch, using food such as from bulk bins at the health food store, fresh foods, and dried natural and/or organic food.

:( the world seems so messed up.

. Also I think I have of bunch of receipts lying around that I need to get rid of, since we might be touching them when we reach in the drawer. .
Nevertheless, I am glad you posted this, thanks

My internet is throwing a tantrum and has decided it doesn't like links anymore.

What's this about receipts?

The article is about the plastic component bisphenol A (BPA) being found in ink on cash register receipts, which is then transmitted via the skin to people's blood.

Never heard of BPA before. Is it extremely toxic or something?

It is an odorless, colorless, tasteless substance that causes you to vote for Democrats.

ruveyn, I don't know what you are going on about, but I am merely trying to share some useful information. As a person with health challenges I find that this sort of information is important to me, since I am very sensitive to things like this. I thought it might prove useful to others. I am not trying to promote any political propaganda, either.
