Summary:
Several studies have linked a common
chemical in hard plastic bottles and
the linings of food cans, bisphenol-A,
to some serious health problems.
Scientists generally agree that our
main exposure to BPA is through food
and that the chemical rapidly leaves
our bodies after we ingest it. Rebecca
Williams reports on a new study
that suggests there's more to the
story.
Also, we'll hear about one town's
serendipitous solution for icy roads
and an excess supply of garlic salt.
And... the bald eagle is a Comeback
Kid. Shawn Allee visits a town
where eagle watches are the big
tourist draw. Seeing an eagle
has many people excited, especially
those who remember when the eagles
almost went extinct.
