Plastic additives known as phthalates are odorless, colorless, and everywhere-in flooring, plastic cups, beach balls, plastic wrap, IV tubing-and yes, they've made their way into our bodies. If this sounds like the opening for an alien horror movie, the story actually gets worse. Study after study shows that phthalates have nasty effects on the human body, disrupting our metabolic and hormonal activity. Even families that were given local, fresh, organic food that was not prepared, cooked, or stored in plastic containers ended up with high levels of phthalates and BPA in their diet because these chemicals had already made their way into the food ingredients prior to cooking. 1 What are somes responsible for? Why Bisphenol A, also known as BPA is considered another endocrine-disrup hemical? What does it cause? 4. Now that you have read this information, how do you intend to limit your exposure to phthalates and BPA?

Read this article and answer the following question There are 3 different Metformin ER products available: Glucophage XR Glumetza ER Fortamet ER All 3 formulations are available generically but they are not interchangeable as they all use different release mechanisms. Glucophage XR uses a dual hydrophilic polymer system. The drug is slowly released by diffusing through a gel matrix, also known as GelShield diffusion system. Once the tablet is swallowed, the outer layer of the tablet forms a gel layer and the metformin contained within is slowly released. Due to this release mechanism, Glucophage XR can not be cut or split. Glumetza ER uses a mechanism known as gastro-retentive technology (also known as 'Modified Release'). The tablets are designed to remain in the stomach and deliver metformin to the upper GI tract over an extended period of time. Like Glucophage XR, Glumetza ER can not be cut or split. Fortamet ER uses single-composition osmotic technology (SCOT). After…
