The Environmental Working Group found an average of <b>200 chemicals in the cord blood of 10 new- borns</b>, including known carcinogens and neurotoxins." Bisphenol A is found in baby bottles, sippy cups, juice bottles and the lining of food and beverage containers including cans and takeout containers among other things. Bisphenol A can leach out of the plastic and into our bodies. " The CDC has found <b> BPA ( Bisphenol A) in 92 percent of Americans 6 and older who were tested."</b> What to do? Throw out your babies plastic bottles and sippy cups and replace them with glass or aluminium. Replace your plastic shower curtain with a cloth one. And don't buy canned tomatoes- the acid in tomatoes causes the BPA to leach out- instead buy tomatoes in vacuum sealed boxes. <p align="center"><a href="http://riversoap.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=RS&Category_Code=S"><b>Click Here to see our Natural Soap Products</b></a></p>River Soap WebLognoreply@blogger.com
