Soft Warfare Toxin

Bisphenol-A (BPA) has now been linked to Cancer, hormone disruption and now Male infertility. It has been demonstrated by experiments, that Male frogs exposed to tiny amounts of BPA become chemically castrated. Plastic has contaminated all our food packaging. You have to search far and wide to find good old fashioned waxed paper and a brown paper bag. Everything is wrapped in plastic to keep it fresh, yet it is the plastic that then contaminates that food or liquid. Turns out BPA is much more mobile than they have been telling us……

Everyone knows that bottled water tastes tainted with plastic if it gets warm…yet we drink it>?

Bisphenol-A (BPA), known as the “gender bending” chemical because of its connection to male impotence, has now been shown to decrease sperm mobility and quality.

The findings are likely to increase pressure on governments around the world to follow Canada and ban the substance from our shelves.

Silicon solar cells are so, well, dead. Dollops of green goo made of living cells – from jellyfish to algae – are now being recruited to produce cheaper solar power. Zackary Chiragwandi at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues are developing a photovoltaic device based on green fluorescent jelly.

The team deposit two aluminium electrodes with a tiny gap between them onto a silicon dioxide substrate. A droplet of green fluorescent protein is then added on top, whereupon the protein assembles itself into strands between the electrodes.When exposed to ultraviolet light, the GFP absorbs photons and emits electrons, which travel around a circuit to produce electricity.
