BPA Arguement Rises Again With The FDA
A scientific panel is again blasting the FDA over their public announcements that BPA poses no immediate danger to infants or the general population. The panel and other panels say that the FDA has not considered all the findings by certain other studies and has dismissed them without good reason.
The FDA has yet to issue their final report on the matter and even worse they are under no pressure or deadline to do so.
The line that caught me right away is “poses no immediate danger”. That means very little to a parents using plastic bottles that have the chemical in it. A lot of things like learning diabilities and behavior problems won’t or might not show up for another few years. By then the damage has been done and the parent is left to deal with a child with problems. The meer fact that the safety of the product is in question is enough for me to say no way to baby products packaged in plastic containing BPA.
It would be nice to trust that the FDA has the best interest of the infants at heart, instead of wondering what their motivation is for the hesitation in speaking out against it.
