Toxic Wombs

When Canada declared bisphenol-A, a chemical widely used in baby bottles, water bottles and canned food, toxic to fetuses and children, it finally brought some credibility to what environmentalists, public health advocates and many reproductive endocrinologists have been warning against for some time. Even better, the United States National Toxicology Program declared that we should be concerned about bisphenol-A in a draft report. "The possibility that bisphenol-A may alter human development cannot be dismissed," wrote the authors of the draft. That's a subtle, but huge admission.
