Oakland Tribune's "Body Burden" Test Reveals High Levels of Chemicals in Children

By Natalie Cadranel

Check out the video that explores the shocking difference in chemical levels between parents and children, the latter had 2 to 7 times the amount of harmful chemicals in the blood in comparison to their parents.  Our own Scientific Advisory Board Member, Dr. Leonardo Trasande discusses with CNN's Anderson Cooper how rates of childhood diseases are reaching epidemic proportions.

Our goal is that with increased exposure of the issue, legislators will be encouraged to pass bills on the safe side of children's health as Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger recently did with pressure and awareness campaigns set forth by the Breast Cancer Fund, Environment California and ourselves.
