Hooray for Eden Foods! They’ve made a move away from BPA lined cans to glass jars at the request of their consumers. They remedied the problem of light exposure
I just finished reading Slow Death by Rubber Duck, the story two concerned men hoping to shed light on everyday toxic chemical exposure by experimenting on themselves. They focus on a new kind of pollution. We’re not looking for external evidence in factory smoke stacks and slimy rivers; we’re talking about insidious, internal pollution. A [...]
Many Americans have come to the point where they agree that bisphenol-a (BPA) is probably something worth avoiding in food containers.

The move came on the heels of two other major announcements: The six largest baby [...]
It was amazing to read Dave Case’s well-written article The Real Story Behind Bisphenol-a. The opening tag line alone casts a spotlight of dismay across what I’ve called the Bisphenol-a Debate: How a handful of consultants used Big Tobacco’s tactics to sow doubt about science and hold off regulation of BPA, a chemical in hundreds [...]
Parents are taking the time to educate themselves about various plastics available on the market today. It’s been proven recently that what you don’t know can hurt you – and your children.
