"BPA Free" Plastic
Find it: Getting rid of the carcinogen bisphenol A, often found in hard plastics, is a great step, but there are still plenty of problematic toxins in plastic, including estrogenic compounds that can mess with your hormones.

Fix it: While using a plastic baggie to carry your sandwich is probably not a big deal, be careful not to cook anything in a plastic container or covered with plastic wrap, even if it is "BPA free," as heat releases the chemicals into your food. Use glass whenever possible.
