Toxicity

So it turns out that the bisphenol-a used to make plastic baby bottles might be bad for you after all. I don't live in Canada (and I'm not a baby, at least literally) so as long as my government says it's safe, it must be alright. But when I'm in Canada, I'll definitely not use them. Besides, the American Chemistry Council "affirms that there are no serious or high-level concerns for adverse effects of bisphenol-a on human reproduction and development." I feel much better now.

If you're looking for a quick guide to "good" and "bad" plastics, here's a good resource: http://www.checnet.org/healtheHouse/pdf/plasticchart.pdf
