...report is to be believed, an entire generation of children has grown up drinking a toxic chemical from their earliest months: bisphenol A. A consortium of North American environmental and health groups released a paper Thursday showing that many major-brand baby bottles leach bisphenol A, and is now calling for a moratorium on the use of the compound - used to make polycarbonate plastic - in food and beverage containers...
...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 at the University at Albany, told a news conference Thursday on behalf of the environmental agencies.

All three of the nation's newsweeklies hit kiosks with critical Sarkozy-focused cover stories. The cover line on L'Express is "The Disappointment"; Le Point details "What's Going Wrong" and the Nouvel Observateur calls him "The President Who Went Pffffftt." And that wasn't the only suggestion Sarko's presidency is deflating. New polls confirm the precipitous drop in Sarkozy's approval rating, from his near-record...
