Plastics spoil mouse eggs Food-packaging compound affects reproductive
cell division.

BPA is used in transparent food packaging.
� Corbis

A chemical commonly found in plastic food containers harms growing mouse
eggs, according to a new study1 - fuelling the debate over the additive's
safety.



Is anyone really in favor of having mice giving birth inside of their food packages? I thought one of the major reasons for packaging food in plastic was to keep vermin such as mice _out_ of the food . . .

God bless America,
Land that I love!
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam�
God bless America!
My home, sweet home.

-- Irving Berlin (1888-1989)
