Oh No! Now There's Another New Danger! Recently I did a blog on an article in our local newspaper on the possible danger of lead in the bags we purchase to carry our groceries, etc home in to prevent the danger of the landfills filling up with the controversial plastic bags.
Now the paper had an article on the lead dangers in drinking glasses with pictures, etc etched on them! The Associated Press commissioned laboratory testing to come up with this. The article is a fairly long dissertation on the subject. The testing done on glasses with depictions of Superman, Wonder Woman and the Tin Man showed lead exceeding Federal levels up to 1,000 times. The report goes on to say that the same glasses also had relatively higher levels of cadmium which is supposedly even more dangerous.
We appear to be living to much older ages which seems to be in direct conflict with all these danger findings which seem to make one wonder how anyone reaches a ripe old age! It could seem that the dangers of all this stress from worrying about lifes dangers would be doing us in! I think I'll choose to not read anymore of these articles as I'm reconciled to the fact that simply living is dangerous.
