Testicular Cancer: Newsfeed2 Mar Linking male infertility and disease risks. Little is known about the underlying causes of male infertility, even though it occurs as often as infertility in women. Now, scientists are focusing on genetic defects to help explain the condition. 25 Feb Issue fraught with science and emotion. Supporters of in situ leach uranium mining in Weld County claim that opponents of uranium mining are too emotional and do not know "the science." 12 Jan Gov. Corzine signs N.J. law requiring parental notification of contaminated school sites. Trustees must tell parents when hazardous contamination is found on school grounds, under a bill signed today by Governor Jon Corzine. 9 Jan Plastic not fantastic. With something like 80,000 synthetic chemicals around us and 1000 new chemicals created every year, endocrine disrupters are everywhere and often turn up where you least expect them. 9 Jan Chemical in plastic bottles 'poisoning us.' University of Canterbury professor of toxicology Professor Ian Shaw says it is crucially important to decrease the amount of the chemical BPA from New Zealanders' diets. 30 Dec FDA to miss third deadline on BPA ruling. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration will miss its third self-imposed deadline on letting consumers know whether it is safe to use products made with bisphenol A, a chemical ingredient in the lining of most food and beverage cans. 29 Dec Old ideas spur new approaches in cancer fight. In a shift in thinking about why cancer occurs and how to stop it, researchers are looking to a cancer?s surroundings. 27 Dec Assessing risks from bisphenol-A.

A relatively low birth weight and early-age weight gain may increase the likelihood of early puberty, hint findings from a German study. Earlier onset of puberty has been linked to certain cancers, high blood sugar and obesity. 3 Dec The myth of the BPA-free diet. Many popular food products come in packaging lined with bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical that mimics estrogen and is raising concern among consumers and many scientists for its links to a host of health issues. 1 Dec Bodybuilders getting chest lumps. Surgeons in Swansea say they have seen a big rise in the number of men with non-cancerous chest lumps caused by taking body building supplements. 11 Nov BPA, sexual problems may be linked. Chinese factory workers exposed to huge amounts of bisphenol A had a substantially higher risk of sexual dysfunction, according to a new study that is expected to add more urgency to the question of the plastic chemical's safety. 8 Nov Something scary in the pantry. Your body is probably home to a chemical called bisphenol A, or BPA. It?s a synthetic estrogen that United States factories now use in everything from plastics to epoxies ? to the tune of six pounds per American per year. That?s a lot of estrogen. 7 Nov Two-year-olds at risk from 'gender-bending' chemicals, report says. Two-year-old children are being exposed to dangerous levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals in domestic products such as rubber clogs and sun creams, according to an EU investigation being studied by the government. |
