BPA found in some plastic bottles, tin can lining, some receipts, etc.

Bisphenol A continues off the toxic list

Folate is found in lettuce too.

So, your mom was right, eat your greens!

As if we did not already know, greens are good for you, a new study has discovered that folate, which is found in dark green veggies and beans can counterattack the effects of BPA in our bodies.

That is great news, it is always handy to have a cure, when you know there is a problem. So, go eat some beans, lentils, spinach, collard greens, etc.

What if you already used BPA?

The reason this floating garbage patch exists has to do with the fact that rivers lead to the ocean and that garbage dumped in waterways is taken out by currents. The clockwise current in the North Pacific traps the debris. More information from wikipedia about the plastic vortex.
Plastic, a petroleum derived product, is not degradable and only breaks down into smaller and smaller particles. These particles end up on beaches and in many fish and bird stomachs. The smaller particles resemble plankton, krill and fish eggs that are the main food source of marine animals.

This video on youtube talks about the plastic soup located between San Francisco and Hawaii.

I can hear it now: “Sorry about that honey, I guess that microwaving my lunch in tupperware everyday at the office has really lowered my testosterone levels because of the BPA leaching into my food. I’d better start taking my lunch in glass or stainless steel containers. Then, things will be back to normal, kitten. I’ll be that tiger that you always knew!”

By all means limit your intake of BPA. However, I think that other factors might be involved like: cholesterol, blood pressure, stress, drug side effects, etc.

Principle #1: Chemicals Should Be Reviewed … on Sound Science.

Principle #2: Manufacturers Should Provide EPA with the Necessary Information… that New and Existing Chemicals are Safe.

Principle #3: Risk-Management Decisions Should Take into Account Sensitive Subpopulations.

Principle #4: Manufacturers and EPA Should Act in a Timely Manner.

Principle #5: Public Access to Information Should Be Strengthened.

Principle #6: EPA Should Be Given a Sustained Source of Funding.

Nothing too radical here. It’s interesting to note that she is trying to enlist the support of the American Chemistry Council to implement her reforms. They are part of the “BPA belongs in baby bottles” faction. It should be interesting to see what happens.

It’s called Blood Energy Drink. It even comes in its very own IV bag! As you can see in the photo, the blood type is B positive. I wonder if O negative taste any different?

Anyway, does anybody see a potential problem here?

Yes, Bisphenol A. Not only does one find it in plastic food storage containers, water bottles, etc., but, also in medical equipment-IV bags in particular. This is according to a study by the National Academy of Science, as discussed in Dr. Joseph McNamara’s Blog.
It’s an interesting read.

Furthermore, Japanese scientists have discovered that bisphenol A (the building block of hard, polycarbonate plastic, including that in baby bottles) stimulated the proliferation of existing fat cells among other things

You connect the dots.

So, if you’re pregnant or have little ones crawling around, it might be a good idea to get rid of any plastic baby bottles, Teflon frying pans and plastic wrap laying around your kitchen.
