Current
fuels/ethanols, oils, plastics, and most products are toxic to the environment
and human health. Hemp products are non-toxic and healthy for the planet. When
food, fuels, plastics, fiber, medicine are grown locally energy consumption
dramatically reduces. Cannabis is an
antioxidant and neuroprotectant, which is a lot better than the synthetic THC,
which does not have all the natural compounds real cannabis does.

Chemical in plastic containers makes
male mice act like females
By Agence France-Presse , June 27th, 2011 WASHINGTON — Male mice
who were exposed as babies to BPA, a chemical common in canned foods and
plastic containers, act more like females and are seen as less desirable mates,
a US study showed Monday.
The findings could have implications for how BPA, or
Bisphenol A, may affect human development and behavior, said the study
published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "The BPA-exposed deer mice in our
study look normal; there is nothing obviously wrong with them. Yet, they are
clearly different," said lead author Cheryl Rosenfeld at the University of
Missouri. "Females do not
want to mate with BPA-exposed male deer mice, and BPA-exposed males perform
worse on spatial navigation tasks that assess their ability to find female
partners in the wild." Mother
deer mice were fed a diet with levels of BPA that were proportional to the amount
the US government considers safe for pregnant women to ingest. The lab mice were fed this diet
for two weeks prior to breeding and throughout lactation. After their babies were weaned, the
offspring were fed a BPA-free diet and their behaviors were monitored into
adulthood. The male
mice who were exposed to BPA showed less ability to navigate a maze safely.
This skill -- useful in the search for potential mating partners -- is well
developed only in male mice, since females do not seek out mates. "The untreated mice quickly
learned the most direct approach to finding the correct hole, while the exposed
males appeared to employ a random, inefficient trial and error strategy,"
said the study. When scientists
observed how fertile females regarded the BPA males compared to the unexposed
males, they found females preferred the chemical-free males by a factor of two
to one. "These findings
presumably have broad implications to other species, including humans, where
there are also innate differences between males and females in cognitive and
behavioral patterns," Rosenfeld said. "Whether there are comparable health threats to
humans remains unclear, but there clearly must be a concern." The US Food and Drug Administration has
noted "some concern" with BPA, an industrial chemical that has been
widely used in packaging since the 1960s, and is studying the risks of
exposure, the regulatory agency said in January 2010.
The European Union and Canada have banned the use of BPA in
baby bottles. However, there is no scientific consensus on the dangers BPA poses,
the study said.
