Regarding plastics leaching chemicals in The Science Word 08_12_02 — this is old news. If the University of Alberta lab mentioned in the video only just discovered this problem in 2008, they have not been paying attention. Estrogen mimicking chemicals were found leaching out of plastic as far back as 1988. See Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein, Tufts Medical School, Boston, 1987 through 1989, published 1991. Similarly, David Feldman and a team at Stanford ran down bisphenol-A in lab flasks and published in 1993.
