I take it that a 3 or 7 are not stamped on these cans lined with the dreaded plastic coating. I always felt comforted when seeing the plastic in the bottom of the tuna can, which tuna, I understand is horribly toxic all on it’s on, what with mercury and heavy metals swelling the oceans. I have the recurring nightmare of standing on a desolate planet with my pockets jammed full of federal reserve notes and thinking what a winner I am. God help us I won’t stop drinking beer and reaching palsy like for that roach passing around between the few of us left on the beach.

Do not neglect to include Limbaugh, Coulter, Ingram and Hannity in the etiology of epidemic erectile dysfunction in our great Country.

Profit-motivated, narcissistic media pundits are poisoning us and our information supply, and causing ED in those whose mental images run to Ann C’s hate-filled, hatchet face.

At least Rush had a friend willing to lend him some Viagra for his stag party in the Dominican Republic. 

There are those (like Rich Lowry) who get a h*ard-*n for the likes of Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman.  I’m not one of them.  I’d rather get it on with a consenting ewe; we’d surely have more enlightening pillow talk afterwards. 

Bisphenol A is the least of our worries.

leefeller,

right.  most of what surrounds us, of what we consume these days, is toxic.  even if that tin can was not lined with plastic, although most are, better to stay away from aluminum altogether.  check out the dangers from aluminum toxicity:

- malfunction of the blood-brain barrier
- stomach & intestinal ulcers
- gastrointestinal disease
- parkinson’s disease
- skin problems
- hyperactivity
- mental retardation in infants
- learning disorders in children
- liver disease
- headaches
- heartburn
- nausea
- lack of energy

We talking aluminum and tin cans are both lined with plastic and does that include veggies, fruit and tuna in tin cans? Seems tuna comes may come in aluminum? You know this is getting to be some sort of regular song and dance routine.  Every time we turn around something different is not good for us, back to Tequila for me!

a “lousy sex life” is only one of the effects.  there are many more dangerous ones: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A

yes, tin cans are lined with BPA-ladden plastic; so is the inside of caps used on glass bottles and jars. 

also, for several years now, people have switched to SIGG drinking bottles, for fear that the plastic ones will make them sick.  it has recently come to light that SIGG has been using BPA to line their bottles, it’s just that they kept it hidden from the public, and got away with it by claiming “proprietary rights” on the materials used to make the liner.  what that company did was despicable - and *extemely* profitable - do a google search .. and ditch your SIGG!

Leefeller—That’s what I’ve read about the cans.  Once they had a tin lining, which is why they’re called tin cans, but tin is a lot more expensive than plastic.  However, I haven’t investigated the issue of the plastic myself.

Damn, I just changed from bottles to cans too?  My plan was to make money on the recycling of the cans, plastic lining in cans? Need to check this out.

Leefeller—you usually won’t see alcohol put in plastic, except for those little tiny bottles they give on airplanes and sell to winos.  However, the insides of “tin” cans carrying beer, etc., may be coated with plastic.  I try to get what I eat and drink in glass, when possible.  Just paranoid.

Well, now something seems to finally be making sense,  why beer does not come in plastic!

Some folks are allergic to latex. 
On Kaiser-Permanente: they wouldn’t give my aunt a brain scan to see if there was organic reason for her dimentia - said it was “too expensive”.  So she got the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s posthumously.  She died the same week as Ronald Reagan, but in a charity nursing home.  (I’m disabled and unable to have cared for her.)

Eso—most condoms are still made with latex, I believe.

I try to avoid using plastic for food storage and preparation since most kinds of it are reactive with substances ordinarily found in foods.  The situation could be improved if the various kinds were scientifically tested against all kinds of foods and beverages and the results published, but the chemical companies manufacturing the stuff simply dismiss any suggestion of that kind; the results of the tests might interfere with their sacred profits.

Condoms are made of plastic, are they not?

A new study has found that workers exposed to high levels of bisphenol A were at least four times likelier to report sexual problems, including erectile dysfunction.

Oh, so is that whast happened to George W. Bush?
