Estrogenic chemicals in plastics. What you need to know, from Cornell University

What you can do:

Learn the names of environmental estrogens
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen found in polycarbonate plastics (recycle symbol 7). It is also used in the epoxy lining of metal cans (food cans).

Minimize leaching from polycarbonate sports or baby bottles
-Wear and tear, harsh detergents, or heat can cause bisphenol A to leach out.
-Hand-wash bottles in mild detergent.
-Don’t leave bottles where they can heat up (hot car, hot sand, etc.).
-Don’t use bottles that are worn or scratched; recycle or reuse.
-Microwave food or beverages in glass or lead-free ceramic containers.

Make alternative choices
-Consider using food-grade stainless steel water bottles or glass baby bottles.
-Minimize use of canned foods; eat more fresh produce or dried products instead.

http://www.neomatrix.com - The FDA-approved HALO Breast Pap Test is a simple, five-minute test that identifies warning signs of breast cancer risk long before cancer might develop and years before traditional mammograms and manual exams uncover an actual lump. The HALO test provides early warning signs of breast cancer risk, particularly among younger women who have no other known risk factors. This early breast cancer warning system gives women and their doctors precious extra time to implement a more vigilant, personalized breast health treatment plan.

http://www.neomatrix.com - The HALO Test is a noninvasive way to check for early signs of breast cancer risk.
Statistics show that 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer.
This new test looks for abnormal cells that indicate a high risk for developing breast cancer.
HALO can help to screen for first signs of breast cancer risk 8 years before cancer might be detected with a mammogram. It is especially useful for younger women 25 or older for whom breast cancer is often more aggressive.
