		<description><![CDATA[What should parents do now? The FDA has finally, in January 2010, reversed its earlier position of calling exposure to small amounts of bisphenol A (BPA) safe.

		<description><![CDATA[Right before our eyes there&#8217;s a dark hole in what we see. Not only don&#8217;t we see some of what&#8217;s right in front of our face, but we don&#8217;t even notice the gap. Our illusion of a seamless visual world is so strong that scientists used to think that the spot where our optic nerve [...]]]></description>
