Plastic's, BPA Bisphenol

Washington (AP) Scientist is at odds over the public safety of chemicals found in plastic baby bottles, plastic bottles i.e. metal cans and other food packaging.

Of course, the FDA says theirs nothing to worry about quoting their own studies, funded by whom?THE REAL BPA RISKS
Consumers should avoid plastic container with the recycling number 7 as many of those containers contain BPA or Bisphenol A (Tarantino) "They can avoid warming food in such containers, as heat helps to release this chemical."
More than 90 percent of Americans have traces of BPA in their bodies.
A study released Tuesday by the Journal of the AMA suggested a new concern about plastics. Because of the possible public health implication, the results, "deserves scientific follow-up" A health survey of nearly 1,500 adults, they found that those exposed to higher amounts of BPA were more likely to report of having heart disease and diabetes.
Do we wonder why Diabetes, Cancer is on the rise? The FDA has the power to limit the use of BPA in our food containers and medical devices but released its internal report concluding the BPA/Bisphenol A exposure not warrant.
The scientists who disagree are Frederick vom Saal (Univ. of Missouri) and John Peterson Myers, (Charlottesville, Va.) both longtime critics of the chemical. This affects all people who use Bisphenol A. Other concerns are plastic in eyeglass lenses, compact discs.
Don't forget many scientists report their belief that BPA acts like the hormone estrogen. Weight too? Animal studies have linked it with breast, prostate and reproductive system problems and linked to some cancers.
(The American Chemistry Industry, self interest, trade group is flawed and they've actually proved nothing.)
If your in this group avoid plastics...use your head.
"A total of 79 had heart attacks, chest pain or other types of cardiovascular disease and 136 had diabetes. There were more than twice as many people with heart disease or diabetes in the highest BPA group than in the lowest BPA group. The study showed no connection between BPA and other ailments, including cancer.”
Several states are considering restricting BPA use, some manufacturers have begun promoting BPA-free baby bottles, and some stores are phasing out baby products containing the chemical. The European Union has said that BPA-containing products are safe, but Canada's government has proposed banning the sale of baby bottles with BPA as a precaution. We need to go back to glass!
