Plastic Water Bottles May Pose Health Hazard

[kmoorman]

New research has shown that plastic PET bottles pose a risk to human health, particularly in relation to the introduction of estrogenic compounds into water.

This will be of interest to those of us that use PET bottles for fermentation purposes.

I think that scientists and media should be forbidden from publishing articles containing the word "may", as in "may also harbor ". Does it or doesn't it? If you don't know, shut up until you do know.

IMHO, scientists heads MAY harbor brains. Media folks heads probably don't harbor brains.

Sorry if anybody finds this insulting. It's just how I feel.

Maybe the plastic just kept the snails warmer, I hope that shows this scientist has a partial brain (BA (Hons) Biological Sciences GIBiol) and a sense of humour rather than doom
