Regarding BPA and companies whose products do NOT contain it, I contacted Costco and asked about their Kirkland brand Plastic Wrap. They replied within 24 hours and said that their plastic wrap is made from PVC and contains NO BPA. I thought others would like to have that information. I greatly appreciate the list that was provided so that I can "Clean house" and get those products out of our home.

Amazon has some excellent choices for glass containers, as well. Also, you can find steel "bento box" style lunch containers for the kids at Whole Foods and online. Thanks, Doc. for enlightening us all to so many things.

I assume that eating frozen vegetables is unsafe since they come in a plastic bag. Is this true to assume?I do dump them out to cook them on the stove or in a glass bowl in the microwave.

So, it seems strange that Mercola's comments about container alternatives don't include stainless steel. Is that because you'll be carrying a glass container soon, and you wanted to focus on selling that product?

Glass baby bottles get dangerous when you have a toddler running around who wants to carry the baby bottle with him/her. Glass is also not a good option for camping or other travel.

I use glass quite a bit at home, but for travel & safety, stainless steel is the way to go.

I think we just should just stop using plastics all together.

Speakin of the environment :-)

I recently got a Lasko ceramic heater because I heard that ceramic are some of the most efficient heaters. this toxic plastic smell spews on and puts my body on high alert. I don't know what this stuff is, but it is nasty. Last year I got an Econo-Heat panel. When I took it out of the box I nearly puked. It was even worse when I turned it on. I called customer service and this lady started screaming at me and telling me I was wrong. She obviously shouldn't be there. What are we doing to ourselves in the name of economics?

Yard sales and second-hand stores are excellent sources for glass cook/drinkware.

Drinking hot liquids from styrofoam cups is probably suicidal.

Leech? Leech? He said "leech"? Ahem... a leech is a noun - a small plump squishy bloodsucking life form, sometimes confused with members of the legal profession. What he meant was the verb "leach," meaning to ooze or percolate out of a source (such as a solid waste facility, or a plastic bottle).

Methinks we need a new editor... one for whom English is not a second language.

I just use a glass container that previously had iced tea in it for my drinking water. They can be cleaned in the dishwasher too once the label is removed. I even put the lid in the dishwasher.

I recently purchased a new water pump for my home, guess what it was lined with plastic and the plumber added some kind of sealant to make a connection. Also many people have plastic water pipes and my hot water connection is plastic. I wonder about all the plastic we have no control over. The plastic we don't see on any given day. Anybody else think about this?

Does anyone know more about the dental sealants? I have those, got those as an adult. And what about those white filling material? thanks

So, we have been drinking filtered water out of glass bottles that we refill for a while. We started this becaues of enviormental issues. When we began hearing about BPA, we began using glass for other food storage too. However, just yesterday I was slathering myself with some lotion, and a big red flag went up. What about lotions and other cosmetics that come in plastic bottles?!! Our skin absorbs more chemicals than our stomach does.
