Article regarding toxins in plastic bottles
I thought this article was very informative and just wanted to share as I know most new mom's are becoming more and more concerned.

Re: Article regarding toxins in plastic bottles
OMG that was even worse than I thought.......
10ug/kg is sufficient to cause behavior, neurological, reproductive changes and possibly cause cancers, chromosomal missegregation and diabetes 
the creepiest part was that the average person's blood sample had higher levels than 10ug/kg.... and that since BPA is metabolized in the body, that means our exposure must be CONTINUOUS...
They even found BPA in streams and the water supply 
we totally are destroying ourselves.......

I must elaborate.... from a pharmacology perspective 10ug/kg is NOTHING. most drugs require 10-100X that amount to affect anything at all....
yikes.... this pdf has me as spooked as that report that all americans have teflon in their blood thanks to that @#$@#$@ nonstick cookware.... (all stainless and cast iron at our home!)
