Chemical Fallout: A Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Report
Posted: Nov. 25, 2007

Take a look at your baby''s bottles, even the dental sealants in your mouth.
These products contain chemicals that disrupt the natural way hormones
work inside of you.The chemicals are even in you.

The problem is, neither the companies that make these products nor federal
regulators are telling you that some of these substances may be dangerous.

Hundreds of studies have shown that these compounds cause a host of problems
in lab animals. They include cancers of the breast, brain and testicles; lowered
sperm counts, early puberty, miscarriages and other defects of the reproductive
system; diabetes; attention deficit disorder, asthma and autism - all of which have
spiked in people in recent decades since many of these chemicals saturated the
marketplace.

A Journal Sentinel investigation found that the government has failed to regulate
these chemicals, despite repeated promises to do so. The regulatory effort has been
marked by influence from chemical manufacturers.

%u2022 As the U.S. testing process remains grounded, hundreds of products have been
banned in countries around the world. Children''s products - including some baby toys
and teething rings - outlawed as dangerous by the European Union, Japan and Canada,
are available here without warning.

BPA leaches from ''safe'' products
Tests find chemical after normal heating of microwave safe plastics Toxic
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Posted: Nov. 15, 2008

Products marketed for infants or billed as "microwave safe" release toxic doses
of the chemical bisphenol A when heated

The newspaper had the containers of 10 items tested in a lab - products that
were heated in a microwave or conventional oven. Bisphenol A, or BPA, was
found to be leaching from all of them.

Scientists have found cause neurological and developmental damage in
laboratory animals. The problems include genital defects, behavioral changes
and abnormal development of mammary glands. The changes to the mammary
glands were identical to those observed in women at higher risk for breast cancer.

The newspaper''s test results raise new questions about the chemical and the
safety of an entire inventory of plastic products labeled as "microwave safe.
" BPA is a key ingredient in common household plastics, including baby
bottles and storage containers. It has been found in 93% of Americans tested.

" BPA is present in frozen food trays, microwaveable soup containers and
plastic baby food packaging.

"There is no such thing as safe microwaveable plastic," said Frederick vom Saal,
a University of Missouri researcher who oversaw the newspaper''s testing.
