If you are reading this we already have something in common, trying to figure out the weight loss game. What a curse to go through your entire life trying to lose weight. This blog will tell you what I have done, what I believe and what I am doing to manage my weight. I encourage your questions and comments.

Bisphenol A (BPA)

This came from a magazine article written by Dr. Mehmet OZ:
Stay away from Bisphenol A (BPA)
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used compound found in food and beverage containers.  Evidence now suggests that exposure to this chemical may increase your risk for cardiac disease, possibly by short-circuiting the cells of your heart, leading to potential deadly arrhythmias.
Minimize your exposure to BPA by limiting your use of canned foods, avoiding No. 7 plastics and using non-plastic containers in the microwave.

I did not know this.
