I wanted to let BlogHer readers know I just posted an article about the problem of mercury in fish, and a new company that is testing and labeling fish, and making it available for grocery stores to sell.  I interviewed the CEO of Safe Harbor Malcolm Wittenberg, who shared how he feels the FDA guidelines are not enough to protect us from the high amounts of mercury in most fish.   Read more >

(cross posted at Non-Toxic Kids) The environmental health blogs and mainstream news outlets are buzzing with lots of BPA news. It certainly looks like the tides are changing, but until the U.S. bans BPA in all products for all people, its important for everyone to limit their exposure to this toxic chemical. In light of this, I am recapping some of the previous posts on Non-Toxic Kids that might be helpful to parents as they decide what to use, what to pitch (Ugh!
