Mercury Is Toxic. Get Tested!
For the non-profit rate of $25, you can order a testing kit to find out how much mercury you have in your body. Order your test kit today!The Sierra Club is co-sponsoring a project to raise awareness about the dangers of mercury pollution. For the non-profit rate of $25, you can order a testing kit to find out how much mercury you have in your body. We can offer these kits at such a low rate because we charge only enough to cover the cost of materials and the lab-processing fees.
The test involves snipping a small sample of your hair and sending it to an academic laboratory, the Environmental Quality Institute at the University of North Carolina-Asheville, which will process the results. The kit includes a cardboard scale to measure your hair sample size, plastic gloves, postage-paid and pre-addressed envelopes to submit the sample, and detailed instructions that help guide you through the testing process. Your data will also be added anonymously to a UNC research study, which will have the largest sample size of any study to date, on the effects of mercury in the U.S. population.
When you receive your results, you will also get information about what you can do to reduce your exposure to mercury.
CONSUMER WARNING:
TOXIC CHEMICAL BPA LEACHING INTO CANNED FOODSAn alarming new study from the Environmental Working Group analyzed samples of canned fruit, vegetables, soda, and baby formula on sale in the nation's supermarkets and found that more than 50% were tainted with a chemical linked to birth defects, ADHD and cancer. The chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), is an ingredient in plastics that lines food cans. According to the study, the chemical has been leaching into foods at levels up to 200 times the government's recommended "safe" level of exposure.
HOW TO AVOID BPA
Metal canned beverages appear to contain less BPA residues, while metal canned pasta and soups contain the highest levels.
Canned foods in glass containers are not a BPA risk. Plastics with the recycling labels #1, #2 and #4 on the bottom are safer choices and do not contain BPA.
One-third of liquid baby formulas have high levels of BPA. Powdered formula packaging is generally considered safer.
Avoid heating foods in plastic containers and do not wash plastic containers in a dishwasher.
When possible, opt for glass, porcelain and stainless steel containers, particularly for hot food or liquids.
Do not let plastic wrap touch your food in the microwave, or better yet, avoid microwave ovens altogether.
Many metal water bottles, such as those sold by the brand Sigg are lined with a plastic coating that contains BPA. Look for stainless steel bottles, such as those sold by Real Wear and Kleen Kanteen that do not have a plastic liner.

"If having endured much, we at last asserted our 'right to know' and if, knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we should look around and see what other course is open to us."
