OMG! What's safe!
Health concious shoppers maybe interested to know that a recent study by the EWG ( Environmental Working Group) has found high levels of the endocrine-disrupting chemical bisphenol A (BPA) on 40 percent of receipts taken from major American businesses and service providers.
Included in the list is outlets of McDonald's, CVS, KFC, Whole Foods, WalMart, Safeway and the U.S. Postal Service. It wasn't all bad though and receipts from Target, Starbucks, Bank of America ATMs and other important enterprises were BPA-free or contained only trace amounts.
Who would think to test till receipts! It goes to show that we take our health for granted and that toxins are an intrinsic part of our society now. At least more companies may check their till receipts now!
