We at GRAND understand readers’ concerns about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). It has been noted that these zebrafish have been modified through the use of naturally occurring fluorescent protein genes; nevertheless, these fish are illegal to own or import in California. According to the company marketing these fish commercially, Yorktown Technologies, it has not challenged California’s rulings due to the high cost of an ecological review. For more ecological information, or to order the aquarium and the fish, go to www.glofish.com. “Just so We know: Bpa: not our BFF,” page 32 The Environmental Working Group’s Guide to BabySafe Bottles & Formula may be reviewed and printed at www.ewg.org/babysafe Medela’s Web site offers helpful information to expectant mothers and nursing mothers about the benefits of breastfeeding and about how to select appropriate breastfeeding products.
