I recently read an article about genetic research that inadvertantly discovered some of the harm plastics cause. The news article I read said that a lab assistant used the \"wrong\" cleaner when cleaning the plastic waterers and all female mice developed double chromosomes, which led to further testing which produced this
Article.
I had the fortune to work for a vet in Colorado who\'s mother, Theo Colborn, was the founding member of a team that produced this book
Our Stolen Future years ago. When the book first came out, it was national news, but the plastic lobbyists in WA. put the squeeze on and it was \"hushed up\". We even had secret agents protecting the vet and her family as threats had been made! I\'m happy that there is enough of a movement now that maybe something will change.
Anyhow, avoid using plastic waterers and never place them in the sun or clean them with anything but plain ol\' soap & water if you use them.
