One National Institutes of Health study of rats found that high levels of BPA exposure "during pregnancy and/or lactation can reduce survival, birth weight, and growth of offspring early in life, and delay the onset of puberty." That same study, however, pointed out that the exposure necessary to achieve those results was "far in excess of the highest estimated daily intake" of BPA. When you put those things in the microwave, the heat created causes BPA to leach into your food-and, thus, into you. THE FEAR: Microwaves pull chemicals out of plastic and into your food.īisphenol A (or BPA) is an additive in hard, clear plastic, including most takeout and food-storage containers. I was only trying to castrate him.- Chris Jones FOOD REHEATED IN PLASTIC CONTAINERS I swear I didn't do anything to earn his bite. I thought back to that pig whose hot breath I can still feel in my nightmares. "Treat pigs well and with understanding," Webb said, "and they're not any more dangerous than any other mammal." Alarmed pigs squeal, and that's when humans should start assessing their own behavior and its possible consequences. When they feel threatened, they will try to escape but might also fight back. They might chew on their pen mates, but I'm not sure that's blood-motivated." I was about to question her credentials when she added: "Pigs explore using their nose and mouth. "At least in the domestic herd, pigs aren't overtly aggressive," Webb said. Police couldn't determine whether the farmer died from natural causes and was eaten or was murdered and eaten. There are countless stories of people being eaten by pigs, including an Oregon hog farmer whose dentures were all that remained of him. Killer pigs fall under a broad "contact with other mammals" category, which means they can blame cows for their crimes. Unfortunately, the swine clearly got to the CDC, too. The CDC keeps exhaustive statistics about how Americans die. She's the director of animal welfare for the National Pork Board () and an obvious pig apologist. "I like pigs," Sherrie Webb told me when I called not to ask her whether pigs are killers but to warn her that they are. I have taken delight in eating bacon since. I had been bitten by a German shepherd before, so I knew what it felt like to have animal teeth in me, but the way that pig tore so firmly into my cheek made a more lasting impression. This probably goes without saying: I'll never forget when that pig bit me in the face. THE FEAR: They're just waiting to attack.
