the latest on baby bottle safety

2 comments July 24th, 2008

for those concerned about plastic baby bottles: a european study finds the level of bisphenol A “safe.”

i know at least one mom who opted for glass bottles because of fears over the potential harmful effects to the human reproductive system. i personally used plastic bottles when i wasn’t nursing. not sure what i’d do given the concerns today.

i feel the love. now stop writing me

dear tractenberg & co.,

for years you have sent me press releases to promote products from flip flops to lip gloss. and for years i have dropped the envelopes, unopened, into the circular file. please save your time, energy and paper by no longer mailing me. i work for a local newspaper, not glamour. odds are, i’m not going to write anything about your clients.

i’d e-mail you this request, but you don’t list your web site or e-mail.

sincerely,

i’m dashing off a version of the letter above, in an effort to cut down on junk mail at work. i already saw my junk mail go down at home a while back when i signed up to opt out of credit card offers. (here are way more tips, but this guy says don’t call it junk mail!)
