Well yes and no. We threw out all our plastic kitchen utensils and food storage items years ago and replaced them with glass and metal, but that had to do with the old reports of plastics leaching something (back then they just said "chemicals"). Now that we've learned just what those things leach, I'm glad we did.

Learning about lube ingredients has made us change some of our personal care items though, because the some of the same unhealthy ingredients were in those.

This is a really good point, I have never really thought about this at all. The kitchen utensils seems like a really obvious one now that you mention it.

Yes and no. I have an upcoming article on EC discussing phthalates, so I don't wish to repeat myself - but some exposure is unavoidable (linoleum...car interiors...), and some just doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of things, so I pick my battles. I figure anything touching my food, my water, my mouth or the inside of my body should be phthalate free.

I'd like to see silicone wrist rests for keyboards and mice. The ones I use are of some mystery gel because it's easier to clean than fabric-covered rests. Unfortunately, it's also as nasty as jelly toys.

Oops- finger stutter.
