BPA Leaches From Polycarbonate Bottles Into Humans 251
Linus the Turbonerd sends in the bulletin that BPA, a toxic chemical used in the production of polycarbonate, the plastic composing hard, clear water bottles, has been found to leach out of such containers, directly into the water that their users consume. "In addition to polycarbonate bottles, which are refillable and a popular container among students, campers and others and are also used as baby bottles, BPA is also found in dentistry composites and sealants and in the lining of aluminum food and beverage cans. ... 'We found that drinking cold liquids from polycarbonate bottles for just one week increased urinary BPA levels by more than two-thirds. If you heat those bottles, as is the case with baby bottles, we would expect the levels to be considerably higher. This would be of concern since infants may be particularly susceptible to BPA's endocrine-disrupting potential,' said Karin B. Michels, associate professor of epidemiology at HSPH and Harvard Medical School and senior author of the study."

Hmmm .... so, do you mean that like growing a human ear on a mouse [kidzworld.com] so you have an actual breast growing out of the back or a frog? Or do you mean a whole new market of cosmetic breast augmentation for frogs?
I'm just asking. Either way, I'm sure it would fast become a popular kind of porn for some people. ;-)

Ya, resent developmental research has pointed out this as the most probable cause as the "straw that broke the camels back" as it were in causing the turning on of certain genes that are linked to the association of being gay. As a young gay biologist I will be following this story further in the future.

Its ok though; he'd have a hard time breast feeding since tits don't have tits.

His inflatable doll has been for too long on a strict plasticizers diet for extra pliability. A little BPA can bring back some of the perkiness, and the soymilk some kinkiness. Let the children renew their love.
