the new york times claimed today that child obesity is linked to chemicals in plastics. these chemicals are known as phthalates which have been known to disrupt endocrines which affect hormones and glands that are responsible for bodily functions. obese children have been shown to possess more of these in their bodies than less obese children.nah. i'm not buying it. call me old fashioned but weight gain usually occurs when your calorie intake is greater than the amount of calories you burn. so it's not the plastic toys that you should take away from these kids.
