Curtain Deals

Is it true plastic shower curtains can change hormones and harm infants?

I found this "Going Green: Ditch your plastic shower curtains and get ones made out of cotton! The plastic has chemicals that can alter your hormones or harm infants! And being a mutant is not nearly as cool as movies like "X-Men" would have you believe…" Is it true? I hope not....

1. Oh wow, i have never heard of this. But then again. anything is possible these days...i would just like to know where you get your information from.... It is possible that they can cause cancer as well considering EVERYTHING causes cancer anymore.
2. Well seeing as how I've always used plasic shower curtains (as I'm sure you'll find with most people) and myself and my daugther are both normal (though I did just grow a third leg recently) I think it's safe to assume that's a crock of BS. Nowadays everything is bad for you. I'm so sick of hearing about it. Remember the rumor about cell phones causing cancer. That was a crock too. All I know is many things we as Americans have done for years now all of the sudden people say it's bad for you. I'm sure some of the things are bad for you. But in an industry where the drug companies will sell you a pill for everything (take restless leg syndrome) when I was young they called it "oh my leg fell asleep" now we need a pill for that which has worst side effects. Ohh but we have a pill for those side effects too. And with lawyers itching to sue every company they can it's no wonder everything is so bad for us all of the sudden. Now we have this whole going green campain, some is good, and some is a bunch of BS. The same company that produces going green surface cleaner (can't remember if it was proctor and gamble or not) is the same company that everytime I walk down the isle in my grocery store I'm literally tripping over boxes of disposable swiffer things, and disposable toilet bowl scrubbers replacement heads. How are we going green with one product but they same company sells another ridiculous disposable piece of nonsense. My toilet bowl scrubber works just fine and I don't have to buy another head every week. Swiffer? I can sweep and mop and not have to buy a new broom or mop everyweek. Ahh going green going sphleen. Now ask me again if I think these curtains are harmful to kids? Did your parents use plastic or cotton?
