Green thinking probably has spread to a variety of areas in your life – shopping, eating, cleaning habits. But what about Fido or Mittens? Check out these tips on how to make your pet’s life more eco-friendly. 1. Check out what type of cat litter you buy; if it’s lumping clay, it could expose you to carcinogenic silica dust. Switch to one made from pine, wheat, or newspaper, like Swheat Scoop. 2. Make sure the flea or tick treatments you use aren’t toxic. They could contain pesticides that leave residue on your pet’s fur, and cause them to have brain or nervous system damage. Check out some natural treatments for animals here. 3. Reconsider what your pet eats. Some pet foods contain chemi...

Bisphenol A (BPA), the scary chemical found in plastic bottles, containers and bags, is widely recognized as a dangerous chemical, but most studies have emphasized the dangers for woman and children. A new study, however, suggests that it could actually affect the fertility of males, as well. The findings are from a fertility clinic where high BPA levels in urine were highly correlated with low levels of inhibin B, a hormone that effects fertility in both males and females. Though the U.S. still hasn’t caught up with Canada and Europe’s legislative bans on BPA, there is a growing awareness of its health risks, and several new products that specifically avoid use of BPA. Check out our roundup of cool food containers and...

They hold up to 750 mL (25 ounces), and are made from BPA-free Tritan – a material that doesn’t retain flavor or give your water a metallic or plastic-y aftertaste. The wide openings are big enough to fit ice cubes, and the hinged cap has a separate place where you can insert “KOR stones” – small inspirational notes. But we really love KOR because they give back a portion of their proceeds to envir...

The FDA has finally, in January 2010, reversed its earlier position of calling exposure to small amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) safe. They now agree with the National Toxicology Program at NIH that there is reason for some concern about the potential effects on the brain, behavior, and body of [...] (Source: Conversations with Dr Greene) Conversations with Dr Greene blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3185501 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 04:25:10 +0100 3185501 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2132601&cid=t_208499_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FBreastfeeding123%2F%7E3%2Fp9D-ap21amg%2F The last giveaway from Breast Pumps Direct and Breastfeeding 1-2-3 was so popular, we are running the contest again!
