Sure glad more of you guys and gals are taking active measures. Why not? There is nothing to lose. Think of your gain should any of these scares are true.
Only time can tell. Don't be part of the statistic in the future. When the final proof comes, it may be too late for some. Just think of how long the collection of these statistics can take before you can get the industry who is thriving on plastics to admit that there is a problem.
Must people really see the evidences so overwhelmingly before they believe?

FDA reviewing plastic ingredient BPA
Rep. John Dingell and Rep. Bart Stupak, Michigan Democrats and leaders of the energy and commerce committee, have been
investigating the FDA's handling of BPA. They called for a new safety check after the toxicology program's report, which expressed "some concern" that low levels of
BPA cause changes in behavior and the brain, prostate gland, breast and the age at which girls enter puberty.
Scientists don't have much evidence about how BPA affects people. But environmental organizations such as the Environmental Working Group note that 100 studies have found harmful effects in animals at very low levels. Many researchers are concerned that BPA, which acts like the female hormone estrogen, causes profound effects on animals in low doses, especially during pregnancy and infancy. Researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found BPA in 95% of Americans tested.
Dingell and Stupak say the
FDA ignored that research last July when the agency determined that BPA is safe in the amounts to which Americans are now exposed. In a letter to Dingell and Stupak, the
FDA says it based its conclusions on two reports funded by the American Plastics Council, an industry group.
"
There is a wealth of scientific information available about the safety and health effects of Bisphenol A, yet FDA seems to have relied exclusively on two industry funded studies, one of which has not even been made available to the public for review," Dingell said in a statement. "
This raises serious concerns about whether the science FDA relied on to approve the use of bisphenol A was bought and paid for by industry."Insanity is hereditary: You can get it from your children.
But I am with you I just got my new set of bottles and if you don’t care about all this, My Avent stuff will be on ebay over the next week or so.
