BPA, Chemical Used To Make Plastics, Found To Leach From Polycarbonate Drinking Bottles Into Humans Exposure To BPA May Have Harmful Health Effects
A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles, the popular, hard-plastic drinking bottles and baby bottles, showed a two-thirds increase in their urine of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Exposure to BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans. The study is the first to show that drinking from polycarbonate bottles increased the level of urinary BPA, and thus suggests that drinking containers made with BPA release the chemical into the liquid that people drink in sufficient amounts to increase the level of BPA excreted in human urine.

In Postpartum Women, Poor Sleep Is Independently Associated With Depression
A study in the July 1 issue of the journal SLEEP suggests that postpartum depression may aggravate an already impaired sleep quality, as experiencing difficulties with sleep is a symptom of depression. Twenty-one percent of depressed postpartum women included in the study reported having also been depressed during pregnancy and 46 percent reported at least one previous depressive episode prior to conception, suggesting that new mothers diagnosed with postpartum depression are not merely reporting symptoms of chronic sleep deprivation.

Response To Healthcare For London Consultation Results

Joe Korner, Director of Communications at The Stroke Association said: "Across London the stroke care you get depends on where you live. We have some of the best stroke care in the world, but there are some areas of the capital where we need to see urgent improvements so that all Londoners can get the best possible stroke treatment. We believe that developing at least eight specialist stroke centres is the best way to do this. The majority of respondents to the Healthcare for London consultation agree that change is urgently needed to ensure the best possible care for everyone and there is support for the proposed changes to stroke care in the capital. The Stroke Association believes that all Londoners deserve access to the best emergency and acute stroke treatment and long term support." The Stroke Association
