I subscribe to a site called "Healthy Women from Bottom Line" - and I read today's email Subject line as
THE DANGEROUS PLASTIC ELEPHANT. What on earth could this be, I mused? A caution against China-sourced circus-animal toys? I was curious enough to click on the email and read further....
The Dangerous Plastic Epidemic
Editor’s note: It’s holiday time, so food is everywhere—and, unfortunately, much of that food is wrapped, sold, stored, cooked and/or served in plastic. You probably know that plastics can release toxic chemicals, but you may not know how to protect yourself.
Bottom Line/Personal, another newsletter in the Bottom Line family, recently published an article in which Patricia Hunt, PhD, a leading researcher on plastic toxins and a professor in the School of Molecular Biosciences at Washington State University, discussed the strategies she uses to safeguard her own family. It is a great article and very timely, so I want to share that vital information with HealthyWoman readers, too.
As Emily Litella would say, "Oh, Epidemic.....Nevermind."
