Plastic may not be so fantastic for kids - Los Angeles Times

The plastic we use in every day products ranging from medical supplies to food and water containers to cosmetics may be damaging our children's development and could be responsible for health problems even in adults. Little is known at this point about the exact effects all of this plastic has on our bodies, but early studies seem to indicate the need for caution. Since plastic chemicals already seem to be widespread in our bodies and plastic seems to be everywhere, reducing our exposure to plastics may be the wisest move based on the little that we know.
