CAN BPA MAKE YOU FAT?


QUOTE:
"One of the most common of these obesogens, as they have become known,
  is bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA,
the ubiquitous chemical found in everything
from the lining of cans
to the paper that most receipts are printed on.
 Research suggest that it's in the urine of upwards of
 90 percent of Americans - evidently at levels high enough to cause harm."


Quote from:
 In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA a toxic substance.
In the
European Union and Canada, BPA use is banned in baby bottles.

MILKING THE HOUSING CRISIS

Quote:
"While renting out houses has typically been the province
of mom-and-pop landlords,
it should come as no surprise that Wall Street wants in.
For years, a glut of foreclosures has suppressed home prices
even as tighter lending standards and a sluggish economy
have kept many buyers away.
Banks, meanwhile, still sit on huge "shadow" inventories of
foreclosed and abandoned properties,
which means fewer places for people to live.
The result of all this is a red-hot rental market—primed for speculation."
End Quote.
