Body Burden

I'd never heard the term Body Burden until I read an article on CNN: Tests reveal high chemical levels in kids' bodies. It has to do with the chemicals in the body picked up from the environment -- negative chemicals that is. There's a little more detail in the article: What's in you? One of the main chemicals they find in this little 18 month old baby is fire retardent that's used in many things found in the everyday home.


There's an old movie The Incredible Shrinking Woman where the character is exposed to a combination of everyday chemical products and it causes her to shrink.

Is the new Dawinism surviving the products that we create to protect and extend our lives? What products will eventually be removed from the market as these 'body burden' studies continue? What changes will we see in our everyday life?
