Oh My Gosh- plastic, plastics, plastics everywhere. Our food comes in it, our drinks, we use it in all different forms for storage of food and drinks, it sits in our landfills, components get into our water supply- do we care? should we care? could it possibly affect my body or my sons? (daughters) and how? So much to say- better to read a good summary on plastics at Co-Op America... take the 5 minutes, it's worth it- here is the link: http://www.coopamerica.org/pubs/realmoney/articles/plastics.cfm
Want to see something really gross about plastics? Google "garbage island" to see a 12 part series (relatively short segments) on plastics in our ocean and the seriousness of the situation.

A must see if you can tolerate the cussing and swearing, NOT for little ears.

***Why do your armpits sweat?
***Do you wear antiperspirant?
***Do you use deodorant?

***Have you ever heard of any correlations between aluminum and Alzheimer's Disease? Read the ingredients label the next time you are about to coat your armpit in that chemical goo...
***Propylene Glycol is one carbon more than Ethylene Glycol which is a main component of anti-freeze. Why do cats die when they lick anti-freeze that leaked from your car? Why would you want to rub one carbon more on your highly absorbable armpits? Can that really be good for you?
