Chloroacetic acid is more acidic than acetic acid because the presence of the chlorine atom in chloroacetic acid destabilizes the anion formed after donation of a proton, making it easier for the acid to donate a proton, thus increasing its acidity compared to acetic acid.

Yes, Teflon is a nonstick chemical used on cookware. Teflon is made up of a substance called Polytetrafluoroethylene, which is considered to be one of the most slippery substance in existence. When used in high temperature (over 400 degrees Fahrenheit), this chemical has been found to release some highly toxic chemicals such as PFIB, carbonyl fluoride, and MFA. While EWG continues to track the changes in manufacturing practices for nonstick cookware, we highly recommend stainless steel and cast iron as great alternatives to nonstick cooking surface.

Almost all canned foods sold in the United States have a BPA-based epoxy liner that leaches BPA into the food. EWG tested 97 canned foods and found detectable levels of BPA in more than half of the foods. The highest concentrations were in canned meats, pasta and soups.

Only 1 manufacturer claims to use no BPA. Eden Foods uses an alternative technology for canned beans but not for its tomato-based products.

Pregnant women and children should limit their consumption of canned foods to avoid BPA. Rinsing canned fruit or vegetables may reduce the amount of BPA you ingest.

Environmental Working Group just released a new study in which we found, for the first time, BPA in the blood of newborns. Read more, see the FAQ's and get tips on avoiding BPA here: http://www.ewg.org/minoritycordblood/

Of interest to some is the fact that the list does not discriminate between chemical, organic, or other types of pesticides, or their relative toxicity, or even their pesticide loading. It only refers to whether pesticides were detected (at any level whatsoever) and how many different compounds were detected. From a scientific standpoint (if that matters to you), virtually meaningless.

BPA's are Bisphenol A, which is a chemical compound used to make certain types of plastics and resins. It has raised concerns due to its potential negative health effects, as it can leach into food and water from containers and packaging made with BPA. Many manufacturers are now producing BPA-free products in response to these concerns.

Even though more people use sunscreen than ever before, the incidence of skin cancer in the United States and other countries continues to rise. How is that possible? Some scientists have a theory, and it has to do with your sunscreen. The FDA isn't regulating the industry, so there's no one to confirm the dramatic surge in exaggerated SPF claims above 50.

In a recently released report questioning the effectiveness and safety of top-selling sunscreens, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) claims that many contain potentially hazardous ingredients. In fact, they evaluated 1500 sunscreens and found only 8% to be acceptable. That's right - 8%. And a lot of those that made their "Hall of Shame" were products designed to protect the littlest consumers. In fact, five of the eight worst offenders were baby products.

One of the most common sunscreen ingredients is vitamin A, which accelerates development of skin tumors and lesions. About 60% of sunscreens contain the chemical ingredient oxybenzone, which the EWG considers unsafe because of concerns that it can penetrate the skin and disrupt hormone balance. There are several other potentially harmful chemicals found in sunscreens that are reported to increase the likelihood of skin cancers. There are no fewer than four known carcinogens found in popular sunscreen products. And what's really scary? A number of studies report higher, not lower, incidence of the deadliest form of skin cancer, malignant melanoma, among frequent sunscreen users.

So what do you do?

The Best Advice - Look for this on the label

Ignore any claim that the manufacturer makes. Assume it's an embellishment. Instead, turn straight to the ingredient list and look for: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, Mexoryl or avobenzone. Buying products with those ingredients offers some assurance that you'll get at least some protection from UVA rays

Watch out for the "Seal of Approval"

You may feel comforted by seeing the logo for the The Skin Cancer Foundation (SCF) on your bottle of sunscreen. Don't be. They lend its logo to hundreds of sun protection products. To get approved, all you have to do is prove your products has an SPF of 15 and don't forget to stroke a check for $10 grand to join the Foundation's "Corporate Council."

Play it safe

There are other things you can do to stay safe during the summer months. For example, you can stay out of the sun when it is the most intense, often from 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., but this is dependent on where in the world you live. Remember our bodies need Vitamin D, but if you're going to be outside for a long time, use shade, hats, and clothing to protect yourself.

BPA is a synthetic estrogen used to harden polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resin. This chemical is believed to cause serious damages to your health, even in small dosages. Damages include aggregating disorders and disrupting the endocrine system.

EWG has completed a study on BPA, demonstrating that BPA leaches from many of canned food's lining into the food, causing consumers to ingest the chemical while eating the can's contents. This finding helped explain the findings of U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that 93% of Americans had detectable amounts of BPA within their urine.

Some sunscreens can pose risks.

The sunscreens under question are chemical sunscreens (ingredients like: octylmethylcinnamate, oxybenzone, avobenzone, benzophone, mexoryl, PABA and PARSOL 1789.) These ingredients are in question because they have the ability to enter the blood stream and disrupt the endocrine system.

Hormones are released by your endocrine glands, and hormones are lipid (fat) based molecules. Many of these sunscreen ingredients are also fat based, and have the ability to "confuse" your body's reception to it's own hormones. Sunscreen chemicals that mimic hormones often mimic estrogen, and are called xenoestrogen. There are several more reasons why chemical sunscreens are in questions:

1) because they generate a great amount of free radical activity. (free radicals are those things we're always trying to fight with anti-oxidants, free radicals can damage the cell wall) 2) chemicals sunscreen cause allergic reactions to many sensitive folks 3) finally, these chemicals are linked to damaging the coral reef! look up sunscreen and the reef and you will see photos of diseased and dying reefs. (and to think, it was only the effect of a minute amount of sunscreen washing off in the water daily, it had a big effect!) I hope you'll stay safe in the sun and make smart decisions when buying sunscreen.I use the EWG to help me with my product choices:

Teflon has great disadvantages in terms of health.

At high temperatures cookware coated with Teflon and other non-stick surfaces can break apart and emits toxic particles and gases. The fumes can sick people, but pet birds are even more sensitive. In cases of "Teflon toxicosis," as the bird poisonings are called, the lungs of exposed birds hemorrhage and fill with blood, leading to suffocation. DuPont studies show that the fumes can also sicken people, a condition called "polymer fume fever." The government has not assessed human health risks or the incidence of polymer fume fever from kitchen exposures to these particles and gases when pans are overheated.

Non-stick coatings can contain residues of PFOA (perfluorooctanoate), a chemical used to make Teflon and a breakdown product of stain- and grease-proof coatings on carpet, clothing and food packaging. PFOA is found in the bodies of nearly all Americans. It is a likely human carcinogen; it also has a variety of metabolic developmental, reproductive, endocrine, and neurobiological health effects. Many manufacturers of non-stick cookware have committed to eliminating PFOA residues from non-stick coatings. Available data suggest that non-stick pans are not a major source of PFOA in people's bodies. These exposures are more likely to come from stain- and grease-proof coatings on furniture, clothing, and food packaging.

Studies also show that most of the potential health risks from non-stick pans, such as polymer fume fever, come not from PFOA but from other particles and fumes that can come off the pan when it is overheated. While EWG continues to track the changes in manufacturing practices for non-stick cookware, we highly recommend stainless steel and cast iron as great alternatives to non-stick cooking surface.

Organic foods are produced under certain standards. They are grown without non-organic pesticides. In the case of livestock, they must be raised without the use growth hormones and fed organic feed. Organic food must be free of artificial additive

Organic foods were grown without the pesticides and chemical additives. Companies like to add corn syrup added color and preservatives to their food and produce. Organic foods are more costly some people do not see a difference but the facts state that it is beneficial to the environment... I find that the ice cream tastes better because it is what it should taste like... without the hydrogenated oils to clog my arteries and give me arteriosclerosis.

Additional Answer

It is a personal choice on what you purchase and what you put in your mouth. Some people feel that the evidence shown in recent studies is more than enough reasons to change what they purchase and eat while others feel that the current data is not convincing enough. Others simply cannot afford to buy organic while it is not an issue for some. If you want to buy organic, you do not have to commit to buying everything you purchase organic. You might start with certain products that have a higher chance of having pesticide contamination (for more information check out the EWG Shopper's Guide to Pesticides which was compiled from data from the US Dept. of Agriculture and the FDA at http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php).

Additional AnswerFor many people who have food and chemical sensitivities, natural, unprocessed foods are a necessity of life. Organic foods are a good choice. For people who want to cut down on chemicals and preservatives in their food, organic foods are a great choice.

Organic foods are chosen for the greater availability of minerals and vitamins in skins because of no residue; less chance of toxic accumulation in tissues of lead and mercury; lower environmental impact; no additives; no hidden starches; no residual antibiotics or growth hormones or pesticides. Higher levels of "dry matter" because produce not swollen with water from commercial fertilizers.

Teflon itself is not considered to be a cancer-causing agent. However, when Teflon-coated cookware is overheated (above 570°F), it can release fumes containing a synthetic chemical called PTFE, which may cause flu-like symptoms in humans known as polymer fume fever. Long-term exposure to these fumes has been associated with other potential health risks, but more research is needed to confirm the link to cancer.

Teflon is a synthetic chemical often used in fabric coatings to provide a water-resistant and stain-proof layer. When used on fabrics, Teflon has been shown to be safe for most people. However, some studies suggest that overheating Teflon-coated fabrics can release harmful chemicals into the air. It is recommended to follow care instructions and avoid excessive heat when using Teflon-coated fabrics.
