The Body Chemistry of Attachment
In reviewing attachment-chemistry studies, we conclude that a secure mother-infant attachment keeps the baby in hormonal balance. Hormones regulate the body's systems and help them react to the environment. Scientists are confirming what mothers have always known: Mother's presence is important for keeping baby's behavioral chemistry in balance. Attachment parenting also helps the mother’s chemistry, producing hormones that may also be the biological basis for motherly feelings including the concept of a mother’s intuition.

Hidden Kitchen Germs Threaten Families
Results of a new global study and survey from the Hygiene Council indicate that Americans' current kitchen cleaning habits are not effectively safeguarding their families from illness-causing germs. Nearly 90 percent of sponges and nearly half of kitchen sinks examined globally were heavily contaminated with disease-causing bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can easily spread and make families sick.
