Body Burdens

I am reading John Kerry's recent book that he wrote with his wife. The average baby born today has 70 "body burdens". These are chemicals that are not natural to our bodies and our bodies are unable to dispose of them.

Europe has a new rule. For any new chemicals that are distributed, they must pass 5 rules before they go on the market. In this country we take the word of the Chemical companies that they are OK for us.

Meanwhile childhood problems are growing. Do we know if the plastic in baby bottles are OK to use? What about those plastic bags our food gets stored in? What about the pesticides that we use on our grass...it gets into our water and food! The list goes on and on.

In the past 20 years there have been 200,000 new chemicals "introduced" to us. It is insane that we don't know how they affect our bodies.

I wish the people running for President would start taking about this.
