I heard this connection w/ plastics and estrogen receptors a few years ago. Ever since I've tried to microwave my food in ceramic containers and not plastic, even transferring frozen dinners to ceramic for the heating process, figuring from what I know 'bout materials science, the heat will cause more plastic to be transferred to my food.
Plastic is everywhere.
And I know now 'bout canned food too, it'll be tough giving up my spaghettios. sux.
How much feedback do they need before this bad plastic is considered toxic and taken out of production? fercrissakes. I'm sure it'll be shown to effect men's hormonally caused cancers as well - testicular cancer, etc.
