Canada announced today that it is considering adding Bisphenol A to it's list of toxic chemicals (there is a 60 day evaluation period where the 'other side' can try to convince the gov't that putting poison in our products isn't acutally all that dangerous!).
I was very very upset to find out that my kids sippy cups and bottles are all made with plastics containing BPA. I knew that the Nalgene bottles were made with it, but I just figured that the companies making BABY PRODUCTS would choose NOT to use this toxic chemical!! :x :x
Here are a couple of very interesting links (and I love that they are Canadian! you don't find that very often!) that I think everyone should check out if you're concerned about this...

here is one on homemade cleaners...some of the ideas are no brainers, but there are a few interesting tidbits in there...

Here's one on soothers and teethers...freaky! The soothers my kids use AREN'T listed!

Anyway, just thought I'd rant a bit and see what others are thinking on this issue....
