…Right now, your thoughts are being recorded.
…They are being written down on tiny slips of paper and put into little boxes.
…Some of the boxes are sent to far away places and made into dreams or lost in infinity because there is no stamp on them. Other boxes stay stationary and they…
FOOD-ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS:
THE SERIOUS DANGERS OF BPA* AND OTHER ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS
..
EXCERPT: …a group of longtime environmental researchers from Tufts University have done their own review of past research into BPA and other endocrine disruptors (abstract available here).
Their conclusions:
1) BPA and chemicals like it do indeed pose an increased cancer risk — that’s in addition to the reproductive and metabolic risks** they represent. And these chemicals represent a real and potent threat to the health of pregnant women and their fetuses.
2) The complexity of these chemicals and their interactions is so great that we don’t even have the tools to determine what they’re really doing to us. We truly are lab rats in a worldwide experiment.

*In the U.S. BPA can currently be found in the lining of certain plastic bottles (including bottles of water and other drinks) and metal cans (canned foods). Please see previous postings of the ChemicalFreeSkinny Tumblr blog for details on BPA.

look at this big hunk of sexy right here.
Yeah, a funny man who you just know can take control is so sexy.
FOOD RECALLS: Foods Recalled due to food chemicals—sulfites*

“I think the short way of encapsulating when we should trust our emotional brain — all this kind of unconscious activity — is in situations that involve lots and lots of information. And this gets back to I think, one of the flaws of the rational brain … that you only take in about seven pieces of information at any given moment - give it more than that and it starts to short circuit like a computer running Windows Vista.
All objects, all things in existence are projections of consciousness. As such, they are processes. The body is like a river. “The real you cannot step into the same blood and bones twice.” 98% of our atoms are replaced every year.
Science, Living Systems, and the Edge of Change: A PopTech Salon
June 22, 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Alfred Noble Hall at House of Sweden, Washington, DCREQUEST A REGISTRATION
Seating is extremely limited – RSVP required.From the cells in our bodies to the social worlds we inhabit, our lives are inundated with complex ‘living’ systems. A new generation of scientists is exploring, mapping, harnessing, and shaping these living systems. Their work has profound implications from conservation to medicine; social networking to environmental cleanup. In this special PopTech Salon you’ll meet scientists and researchers including:
Speakers:
Beth Shapiro, the geneticist who is shedding new light on how species respond to environmental change
Justin Gallivan, the biochemist who is ‘programming’ bacteria to eat pollution
H. Sebastian Seung, the neuroscientist who is helping computers see the connections between the brain’s neurons
Special Guest:
Christen Lien, the “viola artist” whose music has been described as “ethereal and otherwordly; a bridge to the divine.”
Hosted by Andrew Zolli, Curator of PopTech.
As long as humans have lived on Earth, the day has been 24 hours long. But humans are just a blip in the history of the planet. Not long after the Earth formed more than four billion years ago, a day was less than ten hours long. Four hundred million years ago there were 400 22-hour days in a year.
Why the changes? Earthquakes, hurricanes, ice ages, even El Niño have an effect. But the greatest influence comes from tidal friction, or gravitational forces between Earth and the moon. Tidal friction causes the planet to spin more slowly, so that our day is getting longer by 20 seconds every million years.
