Yesterday was National HIV Testing Day. Americans, especially between the ages of 13-64 are encouraged to get tested for HIV in an effort to have everyone ultimately tested for this disease that often leads to death if not diagnosed and treated.

The bad news is that HIV/AIDS still has no cure, and although many people are living healthy lives after an HIV diagnosis, the reality is that many will succumb to the disease of AIDS - particularly poorer individuals who may have no access to health care and may not even know they have HIV in the first place (and thus spreading the virus).

Plastic baby bottle have been used for many generations, but it is still unknown how safe they truly are.

When manufactured, a large portion of baby bottles are made with polycarbonate plastic. However, this plastic is combined with Bisphenol A (BPA), a toxic chemical, to increase heat resistance and durability of the product.

The problem arises when bottles are heated. Heating the product causes trace amounts of BPA to leach into the liquid contained within the bottle.
