By Mike Barrett People relax on sofas and walk across their kitchen floors without giving it a second thought, but a study shows that toxic chemicals used in furniture and vinyl flooring to make them fire-resistant could be poisoning children. [1] The problem is most prevalent in public housing where scientists say children have toxin levels in their blood and urine up to 15 times higher than those who aren’t exposed.

In the grips of his alcohol addiction, David Reichmann was told by his doctor that he would be dead within a year. “I’d suffered two minor strokes, but it didn’t stop me from going to hotels every night and drinking until stumps. Then I’d take a bottle of bourbon home with me,” the 53-year-old Victorian father of two said. He would keep a bottle of whiskey next to his bed, but if he couldn’t afford spirits that week, he’d mix methylated spirits with soft drink. “I couldn’t keep down a morning coffee,” he said. “I’d have to have alcohol to [More]
