Since kids seem to get their hands into everything around the house, it can be worrisome for parents to try to protect their children from toxin exposure. While it is impossible to protect a child from all of lifes risks, the post reveals 5 ways to reduce kids toxin exposure. Through these simple steps, such as choosing toys wisely and reducing plastic use, parents can help keep playtime safe at home. Living Well and Coping with Celiac Disease For persons with celiac disease, a genetic disorder that elicits an autoimmune response upon ingestion of the wheat protein gluten, maintaining a gluten free lifestyle is the only remedy. Mum Mums explains that while it may seem overwhelming at first, there is a wealth of resources available to assist in creating a gluten free diet. It is vital to read labels and clean out cabinets when going gluten free, in addition to keeping a positive attitude. Oftentimes, celiac disease results in malabsorption of some vital nutrients including calcium, vitamin D, B12, and magnesium; so it is important to consult a health care professional to ensure adequate nutrient intake on a gluten free diet. Optimizing web based resources as well as books can help you understand all the foods that are gluten free and where hidden sources of gluten may lie. Understanding the BPA Debate The notorious BPA (bisphenol A) remains in the headlines, only this time represented by 2 very opposing viewpoints. Leaving parents ultimately confused, the FDA announced BPA was safe for human consumption in the small doses it is currently found in throughout the food supply while the National Toxicology Program (NTP) stated BPA does indeed pose health risks to infants, children, and fetuses. The post takes and in depth look at the current BPA debate. BPA is ubiquitous in both the food supply and common household products, hence the CDCs 2004 findings that 93% of the 2,500 people studies did indeed have BPA in their bodies. The NTPs assessment was based on previous studies and recent findings in addition to expert panel analysis. Their findings explained that BPA alters brain development and behavior while increasing the risk for prostate cancer in small children. The FDAs announcement, however, is believed to have been based on review of only 3 studies which were funded by the chemical industry. Both sides concur more research is needed, but in the interim it is important parents attempt to minimize the use of products containing BPA.

这是从“妈妈 妈妈”博客中精选出来的最近人气很旺的文章，从中家长们可以找到所有关于照顾宝宝的信息，并且着重在健康和营养上育儿。五种减少孩子接触有害毒素的方法。目前看来可能有害的毒素潜伏在各个地方而且很大一部分是在家里。因为孩子们似乎养成了在家里到处乱摸的习惯，这会让家长们很不安，他们试图保护孩子避免孩子接触到有害毒素。虽然不可能让孩子完全避免所有的生活风险，但帖子列出了五种减少孩子接触有害毒素的方法。通过那些简单的步骤，例如明智地选择玩具和减少使用塑料制品，家长们可以帮助孩子们安全地在家里玩耍。好好生活和应付腹腔疾病。腹腔疾病，是一种会导致自身免疫机能对麦类蛋白麸质吸收作出反应的遗传性疾病，对于有这种病的人来说，保持无麸质的生活方式是唯一的补救方法。“妈妈 妈妈”解释，虽然一开始看起来可能夸大其词，但是在创造一个无麸质食物饮食上确实有很大的帮助。除了保持一个积极的态度以外，至关重要的是看标签和清理柜子当你实施无麸质饮食时。腹腔疾病时常会导致某些重要营养物吸收不良，包括钙、维他命D，B12和镁。所以去咨询一位专业健康护理师是很重要的，以确保在无麸质食物饮食上能吸收足够的营养。优化基本资源以及书本会帮助你了解所有无麸质食物和在食物中可能隐藏有的麸质。了解双酚A的争论。臭名昭著的BPA（双酚A）出现在标题那里，只是这次表示了两种完全对立的观点。让家长们最终困惑的是，食品及药物管理局宣告，小剂量服用双酚A对人体是安全的。目前发现在食品供应期间，国家毒理学计划却宣称双酚A确实会对婴儿、儿童和胎儿的健康造成危害。这个帖子全面的看待目前的双酚A争论。双酚A在食品供应和常用的家用产品都普遍存在，因此，在2004年中央数字控制系统调查结果中，2500名研究人员有93％的人发现在它们里面的确含有双酚A。国家毒理学计划的评论除了专家小组的分析之外，还根据之前的研究和最近的调查结果。他们的调查结果阐明了双酚A改变了大脑发育及运作，同时提高了小孩患前列腺癌症的风险。然而，食品及药物管理局的声明相信是建立在化工业提供资金的仅三项研究评论的基础上。双方都一致认为需要更多的研究，但与此同时，父母尝试最大限度地使用含有双酚A的产品也是重要的。
