BPA is a health risk, FDA warns
The FDA is in a tough spot -- they won't recommend elimination of BPA b/c the "science" isn't there to protect them from industry lawsuits.

BPA, an estrogen inhibitor, in conjunction with all the other toxic exposures, will add up. How many of you store away those kidney beans, whole tomatoes and tomato sauce in a can? Cans, lined with epoxy resin include BPA -- the BPA hardens the plastic in the liner. BPA is used in rigid and flexible plastics and it's everywhere. Start by tossing your water bottles labled with a 7. Next, if you don't want to waste the food, give it to a friend who doesn't believe in toxin accumulation :) -- u know who you are. Or to your friends who smoke...

Hain Celestial, Heinz and Nestle have agreed to phase out BPA in some of their product lines. Which one? I don't know -- can't find any real information. Trader Joe's has BPA in their cans although they tell that they don't. Follow this link for more on Trader Joe's:

She is raising children on her "Student Loans"

I know this will stir up controversy but I really feel sorry for these children. I feel this woman has been completely irresponsible. It angers me greatly that some of our enlisted families (who work very hard) need food stamps to survive, yet this woman with no job or visable means of support continues to have children she can't possibly hope to care for. Your thoughts?

Octuplets' mom Nadya Suleman has said on TV that she wanted lots of kids to make up for the lack of connection she felt as a child. How about the deprivation her 14 kids are gonna feel, growing up on food stamps and disability assistance?

It turns out that Nadya (surprise!) receives $490 a month in food stamps. To make matters even worse, three of her older six kids are disabled and receive federal assistance, her publicist confirmed Monday night.

Suleman's spokesman Michael Furtney said Suleman doesn't want to disclose the nature of the disabilities or the kind or amount of her payments. Furtney confirmed the aid after the The Times reported that Suleman was receiving food stamps and federal supplemental security income.

"In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare," Furtney said. "She just believes that there are programs for people with needs, and she and her children qualify for some of them."
