A world first: Vaccine helps prevent HIV infection

BANGKOK – For the first time, an experimental vaccine has prevented infection with the AIDS virus, a watershed event in the deadly epidemic and a surprising result. Recent failures led many scientists to think such a vaccine might never be possible.

The World Health Organization and the U.N. agency UNAIDS said the results "instilled new hope" in the field of HIV vaccine research, although researchers say it likely is many years before a vaccine might be available.

The vaccine — a combination of two previously unsuccessful vaccines — cut the risk of becoming infected with HIV by more than 31 percent in the world's largest AIDS vaccine trial of more than 16,000 volunteers in Thailand, researchers announced Thursday in Bangkok.

Even though the benefit is modest, "it's the first evidence that we could have a safe and effective preventive vaccine," Col. Jerome Kim told The Associated Press. He helped lead the study for the U.S. Army, which sponsored it with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

The institute's director, Dr. Anthony Fauci, warned that this is "not the end of the road," but he said he was surprised and very pleased by the outcome.

"It gives me cautious optimism about the possibility of improving this result" and developing a more effective AIDS vaccine, Fauci said. "This is something that we can do."

The Thailand Ministry of Public Health conducted the study. The U.S. Army has long worked with that government and others to develop and test vaccines and medicines to protect troops and the general public.

The study used strains of HIV common in Thailand. Whether such a vaccine would work against other strains in the U.S., Africa or elsewhere in the world is unknown, scientists stressed.

Even a marginally helpful vaccine could have a big impact. Every day, 7,500 people worldwide are newly infected with HIV; 2 million died of AIDS in 2007, UNAIDS estimates.

"Today marks a historic milestone," said Mitchell Warren, executive director of the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, an international group that has worked toward developing a vaccine. Warren was not involved in the study.

"It will take time and resources to fully analyze and understand the data, but there is little doubt that this finding will energize and redirect the AIDS vaccine field," he said in a statement.

The study tested the two-vaccine combination in a "prime-boost" approach, in which the first one primes the immune system to attack HIV and the second one strengthens the response.

They are ALVAC, from Sanofi Pasteur, the vaccine division of French drugmaker Sanofi-Aventis; and AIDSVAX, originally developed by VaxGen Inc. and now held by Global Solutions for Infectious Diseases, a nonprofit founded by some former VaxGen employees.

ALVAC uses canarypox, a bird virus altered so it can't cause human disease, to ferry synthetic versions of three HIV genes into the body. AIDSVAX contains a genetically engineered version of a protein on HIV's surface. The vaccines are not made from whole virus — dead or alive — and cannot cause HIV.

Neither vaccine in the study prevented HIV infection when tested individually in earlier trials, and dozens of scientists had called the new one futile when it began in 2003.

"I really didn't have high hopes at all that we would see a positive result," Fauci confessed.

The results proved the skeptics wrong.

"The combination is stronger than each of the individual members," said the Army's Kim, a physician who manages the Army's HIV vaccine program.

The study tested the combo in HIV-negative Thai men and women aged 18 to 30 at average risk of becoming infected. Half received four "priming" doses of ALVAC and two "boost" doses of AIDSVAX over six months. The others received dummy shots. No one knew who got what until the study ended.

Thanad Yomha, a 33-year-old electrician from southeastern Thailand, said he didn't expect anything in return for volunteering for the project.

"I did this for others," Thanad said. "It's for the next generation."

Participants volunteered for the study and were told about the potential risks associated with receiving the experimental vaccine before agreeing to participate.

All were given condoms, counseling and treatment for any sexually transmitted infections, and were tested every six months for HIV. Any who became infected were given free treatment with antiviral medicines. All participants continued to receive an HIV test every six months for three years after vaccinations ended.

The results: New infections occurred in 51 of the 8,197 given vaccine and in 74 of the 8,198 who received dummy shots. That worked out to a 31 percent lower risk of infection for the vaccine group. Two of the infected participants who received the placebo died.

The vaccine had no effect on levels of HIV in the blood for those who did become infected. That had been another goal of the study — seeing whether the vaccine could limit damage to the immune system and help keep infected people from developing full-blown AIDS.

That result is "one of the most important and intriguing findings of this trial," Fauci said. It suggests that the signs scientists have been using to gauge whether a vaccine was actually giving protection may not be valid.

"It is conceivable that we haven't even identified yet" what really shows immunity, which is both "important and humbling" after decades of vaccine research, Fauci said.

Details of the $105 million study will be given at a vaccine conference in Paris in October.

This is the third big vaccine trial since 1983, when HIV was identified as the cause of AIDS. In 2007, Merck & Co. stopped a study of its experimental vaccine after seeing it did not prevent HIV infection. Later analysis suggested the vaccine might even raise the risk of infection in certain men. The vaccine itself did not cause infection.

In 2003, AIDSVAX flunked two large trials — the first late-stage tests of any AIDS vaccine at the time.

It is unclear whether vaccine makers will seek to license the two-vaccine combo in Thailand. Before the trial began, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said other studies would be needed before the vaccine could be considered for U.S. licensing.

"This is a world first which proves that vaccine development is possible," Supachai said. "But this is not to the level where we can license or manufacture the vaccine yet."

Mass-producing the vaccine, plus how to proceed with future studies, will be discussed among the governments, study sponsors and companies involved in the trial, Kim said. Scientists want to know how long protection will last, whether booster shots will be needed, and whether the vaccine helps prevent infection in gay men and injection drug users, since it was tested mostly in heterosexuals in the Thai trial.

The study was done in Thailand because U.S. Army scientists did pivotal research in that country when the AIDS epidemic emerged there, isolating virus strains and providing genetic information on them to vaccine makers. The Thai government also strongly supported the idea of doing the study.

健康长寿牢记七要八不贪

现代社会，许多人重视吃，希望吃能保住青春、健康长寿。要吃出健康长寿，在饮食上必须实行低（无）糖、低碳和健康营养的饮食原则，要注意控制体重，降低三高（高血压、高血糖、高血脂）和预防三病（心脏病、糖尿病、关节炎）。

　　吃出健康与长寿要遵循七项饮食计划原则：

　　1.多喝水、喝汤，不喝或少喝含糖饮料、碳酸饮料和酒。

　　2.不要节食，但也不要暴食。最好吃八成饱，要吃早餐。如果你晚上6点吃饭后，直到第二天中午12点才吃饭，你已经有18个小时未进食，还要承受大量的工作，就会严重缺乏热量和营养素。

　　3.能生吃，不熟吃（西红柿例外）；能蒸煮，不煎炒；能煎炒，不炸烤；少放盐和味精。

　　4.多吃鱼类、海鲜、肉类、蛋类、坚果、种子、天然植物油、绿叶蔬菜和低糖水果等卡路里比较低的食品。

　　5.少吃易导致过敏的、含有害物质的食品，如油炸食品、氢化油食品或腌制食品。

　　6.严格控制糖和淀粉的摄入。最好戒糖，不吃或少吃细粮，少吃血糖指数高的食物如土豆。要多吃粗粮（未进行精加工的食物）；吃饭时最好先吃含膳食纤维多、血糖生成指数低的食物，如绿叶蔬菜、坚果和肉类。

　　7.增补多种营养素。增补抗氧化剂，包括维生素A、维生素C、维生素E以及含原花青素高的食物，如可可和绿茶。增补矿物质，包括钙、镁、铁、锌、硒、铬等。

　　除此之外，还要牢记健康长寿八不贪：

　　1.不可贪肉：膳食中如果肉类脂肪过多，会引起营养平衡失调和新陈代谢紊乱，易患高胆固醇血症和高脂血症，不利于心脑血管疾病的防治。

　　2.不可贪精：如果长期食用精米、精面，体内摄入的纤维素少了，就会减弱肠蠕动，易患便秘等病症。

　　3.不可贪杯：长期贪杯饮酒，会使心肌变性，失去正常的弹力，加重心脏的负担。如果老人多饮酒，还易导致肝硬化。

　　4.不可贪咸：摄入的钠盐量太多，会增加肾脏负担，容易引起高血压、中风、心脏病及肾脏衰弱。

　　5.不可贪甜：过多吃甜食，会造成机体功能紊乱，引起肥胖症、糖尿病等，不利于身心保健。

　　6.不可贪硬：胃肠消化吸收功能不好的人，如果贪吃坚硬或煮得不烂的食物，久而久之容易导致消化不良或胃病。

　　7.不可贪快：老年朋友要牢记，因牙齿脱落不全，饮食若贪快，食物没有得到充分的咀嚼，就会增加胃的消化负担。同时，还易发生鱼刺或骨头卡喉的意外事故。

　　8.不可贪饱：饮食宜七八分饱，如果长期贪多求饱，这样既增加胃肠的消化吸收负担，也会诱发或加重心脑血管疾病，发生猝死等意外。

　　通过调整和控制饮食，科学家在鱼、老鼠和猴子等动物的寿命延长方面，已经取得了惊人的成就。例如，“瘦猴”比“胖猴”更长寿，鱼的寿命可以延长300%。据估计，人的自然寿命是120～150岁，活不到这个年龄，是病死的，而不是老死的！

快樂不是因為擁有的多，而是因為計較的少

夫妻的姻緣

她比他小20歲，嫁給他的時候，家鄉的人都以為她傍上大款。

只有她知道，他到底是一個 什麼樣的男人。

他只是一個普通的男人，黑，醜，一口黃牙。媒人當初可沒這麼說，只說是個過日子的男人，就因為家裏窮給耽擱了，一直沒找上媳婦。那陣子，沒找上媳婦的都去山區找，有四川的、山西的、湖南的……花幾千元就可以找來。那男人也托人帶一個回來，這就是她，一個死 了丈夫的女人。

媒人說男人富著呢，靠手藝吃飯。女人因為急於逃離那個家庭，問都沒問男人會什麼手藝就 嫁過來了。過來後才知道，他的手藝就是在外面風吹雨淋地修鞋，再加上男人長得醜陋，讓 她有種上當的感覺。回去，已無退路，婆家人叫她喪門星，說是她剋死了丈夫。

再婚後，男人很寵她，隔三岔五給她買些小玩意來，一盒粉餅，一支口紅，幾串荔枝……她長到30歲，從來沒有用過口紅，更不用說吃荔枝了，很快，她就覺得自己比楊貴妃還要幸福，吃荔枝的時候，男人不吃，只是傻傻地看著她吃。她說：'你也吃。'他說：'我不愛吃它，看著你吃我就高興。'後來，她偶然上街，隨口問了一下荔枝的價格，嚇一跳，竟然要20元1斤。她的眼睛一時模糊了，他怎麼可能不吃荔枝?他是捨不得吃呀。

她更加疼他，早晨早早起來給他做飯，晚上做好熱乎乎的飯菜等他回來；冬天的時候，男人在街上修鞋，一天下來，凍得全身冰冷，女人就把男人的腳放到自己懷裏暖著。男人也很知足，說是上輩子修來的福才會 娶到她，他為什麼50歲還沒有結婚，就為等她唄。說得女人 心花怒放。

女人見男人每天那麼累很心疼，她說：'給我買台機器吧，我和你一塊修鞋去。'男人不答應，說他掙的錢足夠養活她，可女人認真了，偏要去。於是街上總能看到一對老夫少妻在修鞋，兩個人緊挨著，有鞋修的時候，兩個人就一起動手，空閒時，就有說有笑地聊著。冬天刮大風，女人的手都凍紅了，耳朵也凍得青一塊紫一塊，這時，男人買來一塊烤紅薯，紅薯散發著誘人的香味。男人剝開，用嘴吹著，卻不吃，他把紅薯放到女人嘴邊，女人幸福地咬一口，又吹一吹，讓男人吃。他們一人一口地吃著，好像享受一頓美食，好像吃著愛情的聖 餐。

有一天，男人對女人說：'總有一天，我會走在你前面。'女人就哭了，說：'那我和你一 起去。'

男人說：'不行!'然後男人又說：'我們現在的錢還不是很多，再掙幾年，給你養老應該 沒問題。還有，我給你在地裏種了500棵樹，等有一天我去了，你也不能動了，那500 棵樹也長大了，我相信它們能夠養活你。'

女人撲到男人懷裏哭了。500棵樹，那只是500棵樹嗎?這一輩子從沒有人替她這樣想 過，可這個男人甚至為她想到老年，她覺得這輩子真是值了。現在城裏人興什麼夫妻樹、愛 情樹，而她的男人給她種的樹要比那些樹珍貴一萬倍，那是一片夫妻同心樹。

不要一直熬夜啊,對身子不好

请珍惜我们的生命

缺席的新郎----大家一定要看看，祝大家永远健康！

我痛恨自己没有在醒来的时候叫醒他，我心疼的让他再睡一下,他就永远得睡过去了。我最欣赏他的认真负责，成了看不见的杀手, 该怨谁？恨谁？怪谁呢？

我们一起在广告公司玩设计，他的创意、我的完稿、我们的搭配是那么完美，以至于公司的上上下下把我们自然而然的送作堆……我喜欢的是他的拼劲，和他曾出不穷的点子,而且，他的幽默会在生活中随时随地出现，每每让我惊喜不止, 却万万没有想到，在我们的婚礼上，他也开了一个最残忍的玩笑……

我觉得自己非常幸福，得到这样认真负责又乐观进取的好男人。我们的相识也和他的顽皮个性一般，是充满戏剧化的。刚开始熟悉他的同事，因为，他的点子多而把他称作?梅花鹿?。久而久之，又嫌三个字太拗口，就简称他为鹿……

我刚进公司的时候很不习惯，因为我姓陆，在校同学都叫我陆。每次有人叫他，我会下意识的应声。每次有人叫我，他也会笑嘻嘻的答应。他说：'你就别叫陆小姐，就叫鹿太太好啦！'从此，我就多了一个?鹿太?的绰号，以区别我们两人。

尽管，我心中满不愿意，却又觉得挺好玩的。和他深入交往之后，就渐渐觉得当鹿太太应该是一件很快乐的事。他给我的欢笑，会让我却了烦重琐碎的美工，而觉得手中的完稿，每个表现都新鲜盎然起来……

四年的交往，我们情投意合，进而同居三年，却一直发不出喜帖来。并不是我们有意长跑，而是他的职务越来越重要，工作也越来越烦重，我们根本腾不出假期来结婚。他升了官，责任在身，每次比稿都要他领队详细说明产品设计，公司的业务蒸蒸日上，他的个人时间就越来越少，我有时还陪他加班，送点吃吃喝喝的为他补身体。

看他一支烟接着一支烟的抽，心疼的感觉他没办法体会，只说再拼一阵子就好。等存够了钱，我们可以开始自己创业就不必那么累了，我们的创业梦进行得很顺利。公司的老板也非常得器重他，累积的人脉、作品的口碑、得奖的荣誉、以及他谈笑风生的可爱个性，在在为他的事业加分。我觉得自己非常幸福，得到这样认真负责又乐观进取的好男人。我欣喜万分，梦想当新娘的画面早在我心头反反复覆几十遍。

我的怀孕，来得不知是不是时候，从忙碌的工作中，发现不适的异样，检查出来已经三个多月时，我非常的懊恼，认为他这样没日没夜的工作，不该在这个时候烦扰他，但是，他非常开心，当场就大声的说：'陆太，嫁给我吧！正正式式的当鹿太吧！'全办公室响起如雷的掌声，我的泪也欢喜的夺眶而出……七年的爱情长跑，终于要跑上红毯彼端，我欣喜万分，梦想当新娘的画早在我心头反反复复几十遍。

我们趁着肚子没有明显凸出时赶快去拍婚纱照。这家老客户跟他很熟，拍了比别人多三倍的底片，穿的礼服、选的地点、做的表情都是鹿自己设计的，他说一辈子只结一次婚，一定要搞笑一点，让人永远难忘。老板很大手笔送我们二十万的礼金，说是给他的创业基金，从此变成了同行，大家要互相帮忙。
他高高兴兴的答应在婚前完成最后一批比稿设计，我先辞去工作，一则孕吐难过，二则婚前有许多事要忙，他都没时间弄，我就只能为他分担我们家里的事，好让他在公司忙得没有后顾之忧。

他几乎是每天加班到早上六点才回家，迷迷糊糊睡到中午又回公司继续上班。连续一个礼拜终于交出了所有的设计稿，也交接所有的业务，离我们的婚礼只剩下不到三十个小时，我劝他什么是都别管，还是先睡一下吧！我们如何相信一个年轻力壮，从无宿疾的顽强生命，一睡成永眠婚礼。倒数计时的最后一天，他一睡就没有醒过来，他睡了十二个小时，清晨我醒来时，悄悄过去吻他，他的鼻息还非常均匀，可爱的长睫毛还闪一两下，好像在梦中还有什么歪点子一样，我觉得幸福塞满胸臆。漫长的做脸、上妆、弄头发过程，其实他可以不必陪我，弄完我去美容院旁的饭店休息室等他来就可以了。没想到我在饭店等了一个小时，手机和家中电话都没人接，他的亲戚一个也不见，后来，我才知道，他们一到家，发现 他已经没有呼吸，连忙送到医院，医生判断是时下流行的过劳死，在连续加班后回家睡觉，一睡就成永眠。

要我如何相信一个年轻力壮，从无宿疾的顽强生命，就这样因为体内长期运作失调，而造成器官内讧，衰竭而死？家人商量着该如何告诉怀孕的我，以及所有准备好大闹一场的同事好友们，喜筵成了非正式的告别式，所有参加婚礼的宾客都忍不住落泪。我呆在新娘休息室，抱着他试穿过的西庄礼服不肯放，我痛恨自己没有在醒来时叫醒他，我心疼的让他再睡一下，他就永远得睡过去了。公司的老板内疚万分，他的父母则伤心得连话都不跟我说一句。我肚子里来不及见到亲爹的孩子，更是一阵阵作呕得提醒我，我最欣赏他的认真负责，成了看不见的杀手，我连恨都没法去恨，该怨谁？恨谁？怪谁呢？


(看完只有一个感想,工作虽然重要身体健康更重要)沉重的话题：一个97级的名校高才生，毕业后进微软的，上月死了，只不过25岁的黄金年龄，珍视自己的生命吧，大家。对自己好一点。

早一点睡,这件事是真的,因为一个朋友就在联旭当设计,死掉的人都还是她熟悉的同事。她同事死前每天加班到早上六点才回家,睡到中午又回公司继续上班,连续五天最后一天睡一睡就没醒过来了,死前都很健康无任何心脏方面的疾病。其实这已经是她们公司第三个过劳死的了,希望大家能随时注意自己的身体状况。

对了,今天听到一个悲伤的消息。广告界的好青年,又挂了一人了。此人是联旭的,是业务还是设计我也搞不清楚,来过我们公司几次。前几天在连续加班后的某晚, 回家睡觉后第二天就叫不醒,挂了。奇的是,约二个月前,也是联旭的一位女生业务,也是这样,不过她是离职后第二天,还是第几天,睡一觉就起不来了。医生说是猝死,推测是过劳。

总之,昨天和前天,晚上九点联旭就全部关灯,大家都不加班了。大家要好好保重身体呢。

发生迹象：原本一向身体健康,时常运动(打篮球)但在近日连续熬夜数晚,经过数日后,突然第二天起床会觉得很疲劳！一闭眼就想睡觉！(跟前一日熬夜的感觉不同),而且会腰酸背痛,但一到晚上精神又好起来！

别以为这是小事！根据中医的看法,是因过劳而造成体内器官阴阳失调,就是体内器官起内讧,互相打架,最后造成器官衰竭而死

医生建议：晚上11：00前最好上床休息,中午尽可能睡半小时到一小时的午觉(午睡一小时抵过晚上睡三小时),年轻人一天至少要睡足八小时！
那些经常半夜不睡觉的人！！收到没！收到没！！收到就早点睡啦！还看！

PS.为了大家健康,请转寄给你的朋友~~~谢谢！

Can You Benefit From Knowing About Your Past Life?

Almost all cultures of the word from Japanese to Australian and African to Aborigines believe in reincarnation. Whether it’s a Wiccan or a Hindu, every religion believes that all of us have lived in the past as different people and that past life has made us what we are today.

What you are now and who you believed you are now is an influence of your past life including your health, your mental well being, and your social interactions are all influenced by your past life. This is why it is important to know yourself, who you are and what you are in the past, to be able to make yourself better and stronger in this current life.

Past Life Regression - How can you tell you have a past life? You may not be able to, but in many cases you will have disturbing dreams, or memories while you’re awake that do not belong to you. Many people who believe in reincarnation believe that we all have past lives (though if you do the math, it’s more probable that there are at least some new souls!) Other indications:

* Are you strongly attracted to a specific culture or place that does not hold any place of importance in your present life? For instance you may be crazy about Mesopotamian art but not really understand why. Delve further into the aspects that interest you about that art and the time period you are interested in. If you can zero on a narrow range, we may have some clue.

* Unusual reactions or peculiar response to a historical event that happened centuries ago. This reaction may be explained by the involvement you might have in your past life.

* Some inexplicable fears which have no bearing in the present life and are not connected to your childhood. Allergies and physical problems may also be connected with your past life.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, and just the fact that you have one of these indicators does not mean you are remembering a past life. Look for patterns in your life, ranges of things that attract you for no good reason, and you may start to home in on similarities that will help you piece together an idea of what your past life or lives may have been.

Self-hypnosis can help you to access the past life you once had. If you can not do it, ask for somebody to help you through hypnosis. Most of the therapists who do past life regression are specialists as well in helping people know their past life. They usually do it by using a form of deep hypnotic procedure.

If you are planning to use self hypnosis then try to use something that can deeply relax you. First learn to relax deeply and then only attempt regression.

In terms of safety there is nothing significant to worry about. What should happen is that you experience a past life vividly as if you were actually back in time. Although it may not be this intense you should still be able to experience ‘shadows’ and ‘feelings’ of a past life.

As you recall your life in the past, it will generate after effects in your feelings. If you feel good, your past life could have been good. If you feel bad after the process, your past life could have been bad as well. Although some memories and past life events are not good for you, it does not mean that you will have the same bad fate in the current life. It is only a recollection of your past life for your benefits.

It is the remembering of this past life, which is important; and once you have remembered, you can start to move on. It is only the subconscious suppression of these memories which causes problems. By understanding and accepting what happened in the past you can start to experience this present life with a totally different outlook.

There is a theory of ‘Karma’ which says that, if we were good people in one life, and committed kind and positive acts, then we will have ‘good Karma’ and subsequently, we will receive ‘good’ in all future lives - unless we change and become ‘bad’ people! If that happens, personal Karma changes and negative events will hound us throughout future lives until we have suffered enough to atone and revert back to being a ‘good soul’.

However, there is often confusion by people over this interpretation. We are not destined to be bad or deserve to suffer because of a past life. With each new life we are literally born anew and it is our own choice to do the things you do. Once you realize that a certain memory is from a previous life, and you are not a ‘bad’ person now, then you can go on to have a ‘good’ life in the present.

Happy!!

World's largest swimming pool

you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one.

It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water.

Yesterday the Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool beside the sea in Chile as the biggest in the world But if you fancy splashing out on one of your own - and you have the space to accommodate it - then beware: This one took five years to build, cost nearly £1billion and the annual maintenance bill will be £2million.

The man-made saltwater lagoon has been attracting huge crowds to the San Alfonso del Mar resort at Algarrobo, on Chile 's southern coast, since it opened last month.

Its turquoise waters are so crystal clear that you can see the bottom even in the deep end.

It dwarfs the world's second biggest pool, the Orthlieb - nicknamed the Big Splash - in Morocco , which is a mere 150 yards long and 100 yards wide. An Olympicsize pool measures some 50 yards by 25 yards.

Chile 's monster pool uses a computer- controlled suction and filtration system to keep fresh seawater in permanent circulation, drawing it in from the ocean at one end and pumping it out at the other.

The sun warms the water to 26c, nine degrees warmer than the adjoining sea.

Chilean biochemist Fernando Fischmann, whose Crystal Lagoons Corporation designed the pool, said advanced engineering meant his company could build 'an impressive artificial paradise' even in inhospitable areas.

'As long as we have access to unlimited seawater, we can make it work, and it causes no damage to the ocean.'..... ........

Canada recall AVENT bottle, contains BPA!

加拿大Avent 奶瓶回收！含双酚A

现在买奶瓶要买BPA free, 不含双酚A ，如果材料是polycarbonate(PC)的话会有BPA

PP或PES都是BPA free的朔料

不过Avent已经开始推出不含双酚A的奶瓶 (only available in Malaysia 2nd half 2009)



转自新浪网



加拿大日前宣布食物包装中经常使用的双酚A为有毒化学物质。至此，加拿大成为世界上第一个将双酚A列为有毒化学物质的国家，并禁止在婴儿奶瓶的制作过程中使用双酚A。



　　多项研究发现BPA危险



　　双酚A简称BPA，是一种广泛应用于塑料制造的化学物质，婴儿奶瓶、饮料瓶等塑料容器及包装物中大多含有这一物质。关于双酚A是否危害健康尤其是儿童健康的争论由来已久，近来的一系列研究将BPA的安全性再次推向“风口浪尖”。



　　英国近日公布的一项研究指出，双酚A与糖尿病、心脏病危险升高相关。该项研究的结果发表在《美国医学会杂志》上，研究人员比较分析了美国卫生部门2003年到2004年间收集的1455名美国成年人身体健康状况资料后发现，90%以上被调查者的尿液中检出BPA。此外，将体内双酚A含量由高到低排列，前25%的人与后25%的人相比，罹患心脏病和糖尿病的人多出1倍多。



　　此外，在其它一些研究中，BPA也被发现具有“危险性”：BPA可以干扰大脑活动，对于学习及理解力都有影响；对于老鼠的研究则发现，BPA可影响老鼠的生育能力；BPA还可能降低化疗的效果。



　　称对婴儿危险性尤其大



　　6个月前，加拿大卫生部已经将BPA列为“危险”级，并指出，该化学物质对于新生婴儿而言，危险性尤其大。事实上，婴儿奶瓶经常含各种各样的化学成分，使得材质变硬，或者达到防碎目的。其中，双酚A即是常用化学成分之一。



　　加拿大卫生部部长克莱蒙称，虽然目前绝大多数加拿大公民接触到的BPA剂量不至于有害，但加拿大公民及国际环境保护论者仍然认为，有必要在消费品中禁止使用BPA。



　　10月18日，加拿大正式将BPA列为有毒物质。在一份声明中，加拿大环境部长贝尔德称，不少加拿大人都对婴儿奶瓶中含BPA表示了担忧，“我们现在确定在婴儿奶瓶中禁止使用BPA，这一举措证明了政府能够正确地采取措施，保护加拿大公民的健康以及生活环境。”



　　据报道，加拿大的沃尔玛超市以及其他一些主要零售商，已动手将含BPA的食物容器下架。美国的一些州也考虑对BPA的使用加以限制，一些厂家已开始宣传推广不含BPA的婴儿奶瓶，一些婴儿用品商店也在逐步淘汰含有这一化学成分的产品。
