...issue are contaminants in plastics used to make the toys. Environmentalists have long argued that some of these chemicals can leach out and harm children, pointing to animal studies that link the substances to birth defects, cancer and developmental abnormalities. Those warnings are hotly disputed by the chemical industry and toy manufacturers, which cite stacks of scientific studies that have found the plastics to be safe at federally approved levels. But the issue has gained traction on the strength of new evidence from independent and university-sponsored studies. The European Union has banned some chemicals in toys since...
...they like with the information unless a customer expressly forbids it.Many private investigators aren't crazy about the bill either.

Women suffer in particular because their bones are smaller and less dense than men's. More important, for reasons that are not yet known, menopause speeds up bone loss. Osteoporosis is the excessive form of this natural process...
...menu is vegan, barring the odd egg, and the diet is supposed to make our bodies less acidic (bones leach calcium and other minerals if the body strays too far from its naturally alkaline pH of 7.4, says Jeans). It also tames blood-sugar swings. I'm never hungry, despite petite portions and epic helpings of exercise. On our final morning, out come the scales and most retreaters prove to be shadows of their former selves. Our friend is the biggest loser?4.5 kg lighter. My weight has barely dipped, but I realize I may have lost something else...
...coax out the inner bunny. Plus it's not all salad. There's hummus and guacamole and soups - gazpacho and an unctuous white cream of almonds and garlic.
