Dangerous Chemicals in Plastic
There has again been press recently about the chemicals in plastics and the potential health hazards created when they leach into food or water.
A recent ABC News report revealed that:
Last month, San Francisco banned a type of sturdy, hard plastic made with a molecule known as bisphenol A, or BPA. Any toys, bottles and pacifiers made with BPA must be replaced, according to the law the mayor signed in June.
This is just another reminder of the incredibly toxic world in which we live in this day and age.
Why adopt natural health and wellness principles to support my immune system? Why regularly take food supplements? Why try to use personal care products and household cleaners that are non-toxic?
Because, as the ABC News article states:
BPA, like many other man-made chemicals, is now detectable in most people’s bloodstreams and could cause dangerous hormonal changes in children.
And our bodies were NOT designed to house BPA!
