Bispenol-A
April 9, 2008 - The Today Show
Once again, the "mainstream media" and entertainers such as Matt Lauer continue to run sensational, inaccurate and highly misleading and
misguided reports such as the one ran on The Today Show this morning
regarding plastic bottles used for carrying tap water, bottled water
packaging and baby bottles that are made of plastics that contain bisphenol-A. "Bispenol-A has been safely used [in
plastics] for decades with not one shred of evidence linking it to any
human illness in adults, children or fetuses." says the American Council
on Science and Health.
No negative health effects on humans
have been observed even if Bisphenol-A (BPA) is consumed a levels 4,000
time greater than those found in a typical U.S. diet as established by
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Excerpts from FDA statement:
FDA has been reviewing the emerging
literature on BPA on a continuous basis...
Based on our ongoing review, we believe
there is a large body of evidence that indicates that
FDA-regulated products containing BPA currently on the
market are safe and that exposure levels to BPA from food
contact materials, including for infants and children, are
below those that may cause health effects.

FDA statement. |
