		<title>Frederick Vom Saal on Fixing the FDA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frederick Vom Saal, a research biologist at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is doing his darndest to get the FDA to notice that BPA and other endocrine disrupting chemicals are bad for us. A number of other countries have taken note of research by Vom Saal and colleagues and have restricted or banned the substance.   But the U.S.  regulators, by and large people from a different, and older, field of science (toxicology), aren't listening.]]></description>

		<title>How does Multi-Pure fare at Consumer Reports?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hear that Consumer Reports evaluated water filters last month, including Multi-Pure's under-sink model 750SB and a variety of others, and that Multi-Pure came out well. Since I don't subscribe to the online version of Consumer Reports, I am not sure exactly what was said. BUT when I went to the webpage about it, I saw three reviews of Multi-Pure filters from Consumer Reports readers--all five star! I'm not surprised of course, since I comparison-shopped when I started out. Multi-Pure filters are truly built well and built to last.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The researchers found a positive correlation between increasingly high urine levels of BPA in pregnancy and worse behavior in their daughters.

		<title>Campuses beginning to ban bottled water</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Two Minnesota colleges are joining a reported nationwide push among students to ban bottled water as a favor to the environment.

College of St. Benedict and Macalester College both are banning the sale and purchase of bottled water on campus. Bottled water results in landfills full of plastic bottles, not to mention causes consumers to pay for something that's basically free, said students on the campuses in interviews with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. And then there's the BPA issue--who wants extra estrogen in their water?]]></description>
