Tax junk food to fight obesity, MD says Mar. 22, 2006. 07:38 PM CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Junk food should be taxed to combat the epidemic of childhood obesity, says Dr. Ruth Collins-Nakai, president of the Canadian Medical Association Do you know what your baby is drinking? http://www.sun2surf.com/article.cfm?id=13511 YOUR BABY is quite likely drinking more than just milk during feeding time. That is, if the bottle you are using is made of plastic (polycarbonate). About 95% of all feeding bottles in the market today, including those manufactured

in the country, are made of polycarbonates. These bottles are coated with Bisphenol-A, an industrial chemical that can mimic the estrogen hormone and hence it is classified as an endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC). When hot milk is poured into the bottle, Bisphenol-A leaches out and contaminates the milk. Unknown to you, your baby is in fact drinking milk plus Bisphenol-A, which causes reproductive abnormalities such as deformed and defective sex organs, reduced sperm count and early puberty a syndrome called "teens before their age". In females, the chemical is known to affect the reproductive tract and breast tissue. There are several studies, including one by Mustafa and his team of researchers, that suggest Bisphenol-A, even in low doses, can cause adverse effects on the size of mammalian testicles and interfere with sperm

production. "Bisphenol-A can also affect the behaviour of both males and females," says Mustafa "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
