Twenty years ago I threw away my microwave. I stopped buying rawhide chews (often formaldehyde-dipped) and using any kind of plastic containers, bowls and bottles. (can leach formaldehyde into contents especially when heated)Today, Yahoo reported that the government has not only classified formaldehyde as a cancer-causing chemical, but noted that it's also used in many everyday cosmetic products. Don't be afraid to read this article. Be informed. Be aware. Be cancer-free and healthy.
