Bisphenol A is OK, says FDA

August 28, 2008

According to Food Chemical News, the FDA has just released a report exonerating bisphenol A from causing harm from the small amount that leaches from plastic bottles into what you and babies are drinking. I can’t find the report online but I will be most interested to see what it says. I hope the science is sound and the FDA’s assessment makes sense.

And here is the actual FDA report, so you can decide for yourself.

Just another example of our corrupt FDA claiming safety for a substance that many other countries have banned because of its toxicity. The Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.org) finds BPA toxic. This is all about money, specifically the money made by selling BPA to line every can and bottle in America. Yet, the day is fast approaching when BPA will be banned. Then people will wonder at the willful poisoning of the entire population. Meanwhile, buy products that do not contain BPA. This will send a clear message to manufacturers and their retail distributors.
