BPA stands for Bisphenol-A. BPA is a synthetic estrogen found in many water bottles, canned goods, and liquid infant formula. Also, it can be found in clear polycarbonate plastics and tough epoxy resins, which are found in products such as glasses, and computer and cellphone casings. When ingested, it has been found to increase disorders, such as chromosomal and reproductive system abnormalities, impaired brain and neurological functions, cancer, cardiovascular system damage, adult-onset Diabetes, early puberty, obesity and resistance to chemotherapy. Recently, it has been a popular topic of concern since it has been found in urine of many Americans. EWG, Environmental Working Group, conducted a study that found BPA had disolved into half of the randomly selected canned foods, beverages, and canned liquid infant formula when present in the can's lining.

Does older Tupperware contain BPA?

Some older Tupperware does contain BPA, most does not. If you have any questions you can check with your consultant about specific pieces. A recent independent study by Good Housekeeping of BPA plastic containers designed for microwave use demonstrated that BPAs do not appear to leach into food from these containers. (though they did find that BPAs do leach into food from the lining of many canned foods).

Step 7: Integrate the EIMS with the BPAS to build up the completed reengineered business system Step 8: Repeat steps 1-7 for continuous BPR due to changing customer demands, technology changes and business strategies, which leads to business stability Since information management is a key factor in BPR, the BPR efforts are enabled & supported by a variety of IT solutions.

Is bottled water from plastic bottles worse than those in bottled in glass?

Water in plastic bottles is not necessarily bad, however, recent studies suggest that reusing them over and over can be harmful as they begin to degrade into the water you are drinking. Whenever you buy bottled water be sure to check where it's from. A general rule of thumb is that the water should be bottled north of your location as it will be cleaner than water bottled south of you (as most rivers generally travel north to south). There is a concern about consuming any product -- food or drink -- that has been stored for any length of time in a plastic container that has BPA or Bisphenol A. There are two camps: one that claims BPA is deadly and the other that says such claims are nonsense. To this end, many bottled products, plastic food storage containers, baby bottles and pacifiers, etc. are not being labeled as containing NO BPAs. Glass does not contain BPA, hence the big push for consumer to invest in glass water bottles coated in silicone. Read for yourself: http://www.factsaboutbpa.org


Where is the flasher module on 1998 park avenue ultra?

the flasher unit (tridon/trico part# EL12) is located under the dash to the right of the steering column for model years 1997-2005 : The BPAs do not use the old style inexpensive EL12 flasher unit. They use a dealer only flasher module part that costs around $50, but to install it you have to pull the entire dash to access it. Huge job! The unit is white plastic and about 3 inch by 1.5 inch and encloses a couple mini flasher units inside. If your emergency flashers work but one of the turn signals will no longer come on, the more likely part failure is the multi function turn signal lever. : A simple test for this is to remove the light bulb from the cornering lamp (the bright light that illuminates the side that you are turning to, not the turn signal bulb). After removing the bulb, retest your turn signal. If, like mine, it resumes flashing, that would indicate that the turn signal lever can not handle the electrical load anymore and may need to be replaced. Or if you can live without the cornering lamp, you can postpone the repair til a later date.


Would the cost of electricity to freeze your own home cooked pinto beans save over buying canned store bought?

I'm not sure about freezing pinto beans, however I can say there is no doubt that cooked pinto beans taste better. If there is room in the freezer to add the pinto beans then you're not using anymore electricity then there already was being used.That being said, my advice is to can the beans in sterilized mason jars with new, unused caps. The energy used here is little- enough to boil water (water that can be cooled & used in the garden or the toilet tank, washing machine....as you are obviously environmentally concerned. In that same vane, the jars can be re-used countless times as well as the rings; and the caps are recyclable. Just follow manufacturer's instructiond on canning and possibly watch the pH of your food- a little extr acid will be better for canning- or just a little extra water (less beans!) per jar in order to get to temperature more quickly. Finally, don't sweat the BPAs if you practice safe home canning!AnswerSure you can freeze cooked pinto beans -- have done it for years, myself. Just make sure there's enough "gravy" mixed with them so they don't dry out. And if you've got room in your freezer, it shouldn't cost any additional money to freeze them.Green Answer: As far as electricity usage, the less empty space you have to cool, the less your freezer will need to run. Freeze away.Also, using frozen beans instead of canned beans reduces your exposure to BPA. What is BPA? BPA is a common plastic additive and is found frequently in canned foods. Bisphenol A has been getting a lot of press lately. It's a hormone disruptor that can be found in almost everybody, and animal studies have linked it to breast and prostate cancer, and infertility.
