...mimics the hormone estrogen in the body, does in animals. In the lab, even low exposure levels - adjusted for body weight - have been linked to a variety of sex-hormone-imbalance effects, including breast and prostate cancer, early puberty, miscarriage, low sperm count, and immune-system changes. Critics also claim that in developing infants, such sex-hormone effects may come into play at exposure levels far below what health authorities have deemed safe for adults. "The reproductive system is developing, the brain is developing, the immune system is developing," David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and the Environment...

He was the big winner of Super Tuesday delegates, but he captured only nine states, including six blue ones, while Romney and Huckabee combined to win 12 states, including 10 red ones. McCain has owned independents and moderates, but Huckabee thumped...
