^Respectfully, I agreed it's a good option! When I referred to potential long term effects I was talking about what they will be finding out 10 and 20 years down the road. It's the same reason I won't use Splenda this decade. They're always discovering things later on, like this PsychCentral article ( Prenatal Exposure to Flame Retardant Linked to Attention Problems in Kids | Psych Central News) about how they're still discovering new dangers resulting from the flame-retardant children's pajamas that were all the rage eons ago when I was a kid. In this regard I'm lucky that all my clothes were handmade for me by my mother. Fashionwise, not so much.

Like a veil thrown over the skin to secure its modesty, the screen partially removes from the mind the inner states of the body, those that constitute the flow of life as it wanders in the journey of each day.”
