Just touching store receipts and boarding passes can be dangerous to your health. A rapidly growing body of scientific evidence strongly suggests that commonly used thermal paper chemical BPS, like its predecessor BPA, disrupts hormones and harms reproductive, developmental, metabolic and cardiovascular health.
The U.S. designation of “natural flavoring” on food ingredients labels should be interpreted as “a mystery ingredient of unknown origin”–something that people with certain health conditions who need to avoid specific ingredients, and consumers who are vegetarians and vegans, may find distressing.

The FDA gave a new warning for Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Researchers have completed the most comprehensive study to date on how a class of persistent toxins called semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) are associated with the gut microbiome in human children.
Scientists investigating the phenomenon of salmon die-off in Puget Sound have discovered that a vast chemical soup is threatening aquatic life, and one toxic chemical in particular is responsible for wiping out the creatures.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is getting ready to conduct Risk Evaluations on two phthalate chemicals, DIDP and DINP. They are currently seeking public input about these phthalate chemicals.
A new scientific study indicates that plastics in the ocean can release toxic chemicals that cause deformities in sea creatures.
New research has uncovered a link with Triclosan and fatty liver disease. More specifically, scientists found that the chemical accelerated the development of fatty liver and fibrosis. Mice exposed to Triclosan also had less diversity in their gut microbiomes (less gut microbiome diversity as science has now shown, is generally associated with poorer health).
New York has now banned the use of per- and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals (PFAS) in food packaging.
