Chemical Free Living, the online store of the National Toxic Encephalopathy Foundation, is proud to announce its Annual Spring Income Tax Day Sale.
The effects of chemicals upon health have been receiving more attention in the last few years.
Pesticides, hormone-disrupting chemicals, lead in lipsticks, formaldehyde in children's shampoo, etc. Not only are the chemically/environmentally sensitive being impacted, fetal chemical exposures are generating life long health effects, along with everyday chemical exposures upon the public.
With everyone being concerned about GMO's in their food and purchasing organic foods, why store food or carry water in toxic plastic containers or BPA-free containers?
More companies are using BPA-free alternatives in water bottles, food storage containers, but, this alternative is not as safe as the public suspects.
Research requested by the Center for Environmental Health in Oakland, CA, had various BPA-free products tested for estrogenic activity. Two independent laboratories were used and the results were surprising. [1,2]
"The result: our testing found 9 out of 35 sippy cups we tested were found with significant amounts of estrogenic activity, including seven cups found with more estrogenic activity than a cup made with BPA. All of the nine estrogenic cups were labeled "BPA-Free."" [3]
"The products: First Years Disney Magical color-changing sippy cups ("Cars"; fairies; Minnie Mouse; Mickey Mouse Clubhouse; "Monsters, Inc.," both the boy and girl versions); Gerber Graduates color-changing cup; CamelBak Hearts spill-proof cup; Born Free Disney Mickey Mouse soft-spout cup." [4]
Glass and stainless steel are being offered by more companies to address the BPA concerns of the public. Chemical Free Living has concentrated on safer products; organic clothing and stainless steel especially to eliminate the potential for estrogenic activity.
