I recall reading the early Ford Model T's (or was it A's?) were manufactured with plastic made from hemp seeds. For that matter, the fuel was even made from them.

There are reasons you need to heed the warnings about BPA and thankfully, many easily accessible products that can help you rid the chemical from your life.

Health Canada is one of the first regulatory bodies world wide to recognize and move toward banning products that contain BPA. Why? It�s suspected of being linked to neural and behavioural effects in fetuses, infants and children, in addition to obesity and abnormal hormone levels causing early puberty, prostate and breast cancers. The concern is that the chemical leaches from food and beverage containers, particularly when they are heated or exposed to acidic substances...........

word is getting out . It was a hot topic at the last baby shower I attended. A good place to start is going back to glass baby bottles and many Mothers are doign that. I wish I had known this when my children were young. Both of my Daughters has auto immune problems and I am sure too many vaccines and plastic baby bottles didnt help their developing immune systems.
