Did Big Plastic Pay Off The FDA???
One dangerous, widely used and well researched chemicals that is found in many plastics is called Bisphenol A, or BPA for short. This chemical is found in sippy cups, the epoxy linings of canned food, baby bottles and countless other items. The organisations producing these products have fought hard and must have somehow bought out the FDA. It is obviously clear through years of research that the hormone disrupting chemical is dangerous, but through aggressive Search Engine Marketing, the creation of websites such as bisphenol-a.org, by employing their own scientists and lobbyists, and possibly buying out the FDA, Big Plastic has triumphed as the FDA has given their ruling that BPA is not dangerous. This has outraged the scientific community, including scientists, doctors and politicians with half a brain. The main problem with BPA is that it's being used in CANNED FOODS and baby bottles such at Avent's plastic baby bottles. Numerous studies have shown that when the baby bottles are exposed to boiling water or when they are put through the dishwasher they break down and the BPA seeps into the baby's milk/formula.
When legitimate scientists have conducted studies on BPA, it is consistently linked According to the AP release:
"The FDA's assessment relies on just two studies which were funded by the "The chemical industry's efforts to hide or misrepresent the hazards of A Union of Concerned Scientists has showed that there is a widespread interference within the FDA agency, which to me is a red flag that the FDA is in the pocket of Big Plastic. As huge companies like Dow Chemical and other plastic (petrochemical) companies continue to grow their profits, their wealth is obviously becoming more important to the FDA then the safety of the public. "The federal government's failure to prevent harm for American citizens is Here are just a few of the hundreds of studies that have been done on this chemical: http://www.chej.org/BPA_Website.htm http://www.ewg.org/reports/bisphenola http://www.environmentcalifornia.org/reports/environmental-health/enviro... http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Plasticizers/Phthalates-Bisphenol-A-Dev... http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2008/01/30/bisphenol-study.html Ap Article and Sources: http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/fda-decision-on-bpa-outrages-hea...

I am really glad to see that these organizations are finally doing something to make this situation better. They are like an alcohol rehab for this bad situation we are confronting with lately.
Baby's R Us will take your avent or other BPA bottles and give you the ones without BPA for the difference in price. What a great thing to do!

Good article, thank you.
This explains a lot, and I wonder how the irresponsible profiteers find any peace, having caused so much illness in their own society even to babies. No wonder these problems are so much more in US than elsewhere, especially in the so called less developed countries.
Who had ever heard of obesity problem in babies before this stupidity? It is not as if some rich people in some rich nations couldn't have overfed their babies with the same foods! And yet this is new.
It has to be the plastic and other such industrial stupidities of endangering own people.
LOL, thats what politics and government is all baout. Bribes and payoffs. Welcome to the new regime!
