FDA Gives an Inch (But Only an Inch)
2010 January 16
The FDA finally defied its chemical industry sugar daddies and acknowledged that BPA (bisphenol A), a chemical used in making plastic food containers, poses health risks even at levels lower than it had previously considered safe. That’s the good news. The bad news is that the 100+ studies demonstrating BPA’s negative health impacts is apparently not enough evidence for the FDA to take significant action. Manufacturers will not be required to eliminate BPA or even label products made with BPA.
You gotta love our impotent regulatory agencies.
