That is just incredible that they could say that. Its basically the

same thing that they are doing with mold.

What can we really say? Pray that things change..

This is a recent paper on BPA

JAMA -- Association of Urinary Bisphenol A Concentration With Medical

Disorders and Laboratory Abnormalities in Adults, September 17, 2008,

Lang et al. 300 (11): 1303

" CONCLUSIONS

Using data representative of the adult US population, we found that

higher urinary concentrations of BPA were associated with an increased

prevalence of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and liver-enzyme

abnormalities. These findings add to the evidence suggesting adverse

effects of low-dose BPA in animals. Independent replication and

follow-up studies are needed to confirm these findings and to provide

evidence on whether the associations are causal. "
