BPA & CANCER: BEWARE OF PLASTIC CONTAINERS!

BPA, also known as Bisphenol A, an organic compound considered for years by many researchers to be highly toxic, is still being used to make plastic water and beverage containers and line our canned foods. According to Dr. Fred Von Saal, BPA is synthetic estrogen and can cause BRAIN DAMAGE, BREAST CANCER and PROSTATE CANCER. The website HEALTHIER-HARVEST.COM, states that BPA residue is contained in single-serving water bottles up to 5-gallon water jugs. The chemical has a tendency to escape from the plastic bottles and seep into the water. You will know if your bottle contains BPA if it is marked 7 at the bottom of it. Many now are attempting to avoid the dangers of plastic bottles by switching to non-toxic stainless steel containers. Though I still refill my plastic water jugs (#2 labeled at the bottom), I now pour the water from the jug into my new stainless steel container that I received as a gift from one of my gorgeous East Indian friends. The container is a product of KLEAN KANTEEN. You may watch and listen to a special five-minute report on BPA by FOX NEWS featuring Dr. Saal at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3_cYZKksvI.
