BPA is dangerous / BPA is “not dangerous”

September 16, 2008

I was already happy to see here in Switzerland pharmacies selling baby bottles “not containing BPA”. With this new article discussed on Nature I am even more satisfied to see that BPA possible danger is coming into fashion also for the big public.

A preliminary study possibly links diabetes and heart attack to BPA presence in human blood. BPA comes from food packages made of plastic, so virtually everybody can have high percentage of it in his/her body.

“The researchers compared BPA levels to responses on the health questionnaire. When the data were divided into four equally sized groups based on BPA concentration, those in the group with the highest concentration were three times more likely to have cardiovascular disease and 2.4 times more likely to have diabetes than those in the group with the lowest concentration”. This doesn’t make a DIRECT link between BPA and diseases, but it rings a bell saying: caution, MAYBE BPA really harms human health (animal health is for sure harmed, as many other studies showed!).

Make the intelligent decision: avoid plastic food packages, especially for food that could be heated or left at hot temperature during the transport (like beverages, for example).


Rome major prohibits “sexy clothes” on the streets of Rome

September 16, 2008

You probably know it: asking a prostitute (so called “lucciole”) for sex in Roma became really dangerous. You can go to prison for 15 days and soon you’ll have to pay 500 Euro fee. The same for the prostitute offering sex to another person.

However, due to modern fashion, it is really difficult for Rome police to understand WHO is a prostitute and WHO is just a sexy lady walking on the street!

So, the major proposed to forbid too short skirts and stretchy bodies (identifying those women wearing them as “prostitutes”) to avoid the several car accidents due to car drivers watching boobs and asses on the streets.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The Italian SHAME goes on: will now Italian women in Rome have to avoid too short “minigonne” (short skirts)? Soon will they have to wear a burqa? :lol:
