NYCPHP Meetup

[Gary Mort]

For that matter, it can be used in other ways.  A dice carrier.  A mini
nature aquarium.  Pen holder.

>>  2. The same government agency advises people to:  Avoid plastic

>>
>> As my wife points out, the government is usually accused of underplaying

>>  The problem is that the Bisphenol A can add Estrogin to whatever is
>> stored in the bottle. Adding Estrogin to your diet is usually not a good
>> idea for guys. And it can cause problems for women too.
>>
>>
>> So be safe: throw away drinking bottles that have the "7" in the recycle
>> symbol.
>>
>>
>> The effect is small, so no worries if you've already drunken from the
