After reading about 6 or 7 articles about bisphenol-A (after seeing a report on ABC news about dangerous plastics and baby bottles), I found this quote in most of the news reports:
"...the panel expressed 'some concern' about the chemical and noted that people may want to reduce their exposure."
(Baby bottles with the chemical appear to include Playtex, Avent, and all other major brands we buy.)
(The panel does not support a ban on this chemical in plastics..but CA is trying to pass legislation and the ecological groups do support a ban.)
Well...Jesus....when every single source (even the industry-biased ones) indicate a possibility of affecting a baby's genitals and reproductive functions and says to "reduce exposure" what ELSE am I supposed to think?
The "Science Now" journal suggests that it is unlcear how the FDA or other organizations will react to the report.
I wonder how many other moms and dads saw the TV report saying that "baby bottles may be dangerous" and are now FLIPPING OUT about the prospect of their daughter's menstruating at age 8 and their son's balls shrinking.
I'm not sure ABC News and like organizations are ready for the panic that JUST MIGHT ensue.

The ugly truth is that we use so many disgusting, untested, and dangerous chemicals in everything we do that this one hardly even stands out. You'd have to move to Montana or Wyoming and live like the Unabomber if you were to avoid all of them.
