Breast Milk Cheese!! - hoax??

Stan shared a blog with me (which he got from Paolo) about breast milk cheese. There is a French company called Petit Singly which uses breast milk in making its cheeses. However, the website is in French and the Google translation is awful - I can't make sense of it. I googled "Petit Singly" and came up with a link to the Museum of Hoaxes. According to the Museum of Hoaxes, Petit Singly is a hoax because the site has ads and it is hosted on a lycos account.
Another website with a better translation shares that "the cheese is produced exactly like it would be for cow’s milk and apparently tastes like it has hints of hazelnut." Also, "the cheese is rich in vitamins and nutrients x x x and have an 'AB' label, which is the official label for organic products." LOL
Well, for those interested, you can order online here and email the company at petitsingly@lycos.fr.

BPA-free Playtex and Rubbermaid Products

Two companies which have products readily available in the Philippines recently released statements and lists of their BPA-free products. These companies are Playtex and Rubbermaid. Playtex's Original Drop-in Nurser is BPA-free and is available in SM's Baby & Co. Meanwhile, Rubbermaid products are also available in leading department stores. The Rubbermaid website is very informative as it includes pictures of BPA-free and "BPA-full" products. Rubbermaid also has a FAQ and listed numerous websites for reliable information about BPA. This is very good news since we now have immediate alternatives to the polycarbonate plastic products we are using.
