Plastics in Our Diet: The Need for BPA Regulation
Jeudi 02 Octobre 2008 - 22:00 - 3 mois depuis - 36 lectures - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American Studies have surfaced in recent months that certain plastic products we use every day could be interfering with our hormone systems. Approximately 100,000 synthetic chemicals are approved for consumer products and industrial processes--and certain classes of them, it seems, are dangerous to our health. One compound in the news, known as BPA, is of particular concern.Only a handful of once approved substances have ever become banned or severely restricted, such as DDT, PCBs and benzene. What about the rest? Under existing laws, drugs must be shown to be safe and effective, pesticides must be tested to demonstrate that they are safe enough in a balance between risks and benefits, and synthetic food additives must meet a standard set in 1958 by the Delaney Amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. But many, many other substances remain untouched by safety regulations. [More] |

Scientific American Magazine: Mapping the Cancer Genome
Samedi 17 Février 2007 - 22:00 - 1 année, 10 mois depuis - 36 lectures - Cancer - Scientific American "If we wish to learn more about cancer, we must now concentrate on the cellular genome." Nobel laureate Renato Dulbecco penned those words more than 20 years ago in one of the earliest public calls for what would become the Human Genome Project. "We are at a turning point," Dulbecco, a pioneering cancer researcher, declared in 1986 in the journal Science. Discoveries in preceding years had made clear that much of the deranged behavior of cancer cells stemmed from damage to their genes and alterations in their functioning. "We have two options," he wrote. "Either try to discover the genes important in malignancy by a piecemeal approach, or & sequence the whole genome." |
