plastic warnings blah blah blah.....

So I know as at least a handful of people who are concerned with the basically newly found health risks in the toxicity of different plastics etc etc. I being one whom, "rolls with the punches and lives life without all the concerns some of you do" have learned a little bit more information and have read up on more than I usually would.

I work for a very well known Doctor who specializes in hormone replacement therapy he and his wife have brought something to my attention.

XENOESTROGENS-
not only found in plastics but also in parabins and petroleum jelly. One of my favorite things to use on Reiley is Aquaphor(petroleum jelly). I use it for everything. I swear it helped clear up his baby acne as well as when his bum is looking a ittle red I use on that to. It works wonders, but here you go little buddy! Have some man made estrogen to your genitals. DUH! So many health risks are found with yes the BPA but even more with increased levels of estrogen, pancreas failure, breast cancer, MAN BOOBS!

I have made a few phone calls to a lab that we send our hormone patients to as well as a close friend at work who basically has developed the line of skin care we use at my office. I will get more ACCURATE facts about the whole issue. Not just things I have read online because I personally don't trust all I read online. Not only that but I don't really like to read and don't always comprehend all I read.

If any of you have questions regarding this let me know and I can get real answers for you!

I've tried to make a few changes, like stainless steel waterbottles (at least the ones that sit in a hot car) glass containers for all left overs instead of plastic, etc. You can't really stay away from everything bad...they find new stuff everyday. Let me know what you find out. I always worry especially about what we put on our skin, but it's hard to always know what's in everything.
