Mrs. Readsalot Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I just found these interesting facts sheets on the safety of plastics. With so much buzz on the board about plastic safety I got curious and decided to research it. I found these sheets(there are 4 of them) very interesting and actually plan to print them out for my dh to read too. My intention in posting this is not to scare people, but to share something I found and thought others would finding interesting. http://www.healthobservatory.org/library.cfm?refid=77083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAR120C Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I tend to be a cynic about a lot of the panic around things in general (plastics is only the latest...), and I really truly appreciate a well-cited reference like this. "Plastics" covers so many extremely diverse materials that I find it irritating when they are thrown out all together. The potential problems with polycarbonate have very little at all to do with other plastics (which might have their own problems but not BPA!) At least this link has them enumerated and all the claims about adverse effects cited to their original studies. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doran Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 This is precisely what I had hoped to find (but didn't) in my brief search before I posted my reply to MJN's post earlier this evening. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'd like to look at these but the link isn't working for me. Not sure why...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs. Readsalot Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 You might be having trouble because the link is in pdf format Here is another avenue to get to it http://www.citizens.org/healthy-news/smart-plastics-guide then at the bottom of the article click the Smart Plastics Guide link and it will take you to the same one I posted. Let me know if it works for you now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
