**** **THIS BABYWARE LACKS SOME NASTY TOXINS** **Walgreen's Wagi Bowls and Lids** are *Bisphenol A and Phthalate *FREE.  I stumbled on them by accident as I do many of **Walgreen's **healthy treasures.  Although teddy bears and stars parade around on their transparent sides, these "baby" dishes provide a healthier means of eating and storing food for all of us. # ***TOXINS FOUND IN A LOT OF TOYS, PLASTIC-WARE & COSMETICS*** ***Bisphenol A*** *is an excellent chemical to be rid of.  It's a hormone-disrupter found in many polycarbonate baby bottles, water bottles, food containers, microwave cookingware and more.  Studies link **Bisphenol A** with aggressive behavior in toddlers and with heart disease and diabetes.  At low levels in test animals, it causes changes in both behavior **and brain structure.* ***SEE:  www.bisphenolafree.org  ****for information from media & health sources.* ***Phthalates**, known as "plasticizers," make plastics like PVC more flexible.  They also function as solvents.  (What a great thing to have in our dishware, shower curtains, detergents, hair spray and shampoo, toys and vinyl flooring!)  ****Phthalates**, like **Bisphenol A**, disrupt hormones.  ****Phthalates** cause reduced sperm counts and other reproductive abnormalities in test animals.* If any one of us were tested for industrial pollutants in our bodies, it's very likely that ***Phthalates*** would be found there! ***SEE:  www.ewg.org  ****for further resources on **Phthalates*** *#***** ***THE BOTTOM LINE ON *****WAGI BOWLS******** **Wagi Bowls and Lids** are among currently-available products *without* the toxins *Bisphenol A*** **and  *Phthalates*.  Each of the six **Wagi Bowls** in a pack holds eight ounces -- IF you cram the food or liquid to the very top.  **Wagi Bowls** come in attractive, individual jewel colors.  These **Bowls and Lids** are quite rigid (perhaps the lack of the *Phthalates*?), and they don't stack extremely well. The **Wagi** name can be found on other babyware products.  Find **Wagi** through **Walgreen's**.  (If you look up "Wagi" by itself, you'll find a radio station.)  Continue to look for disclaimers on plastic products and cosmetics you purchase.  We should be seeing more and more  *Bisphenol A* and/or *Phthalates*-FREE products in the future.
