They link to ressources on BPA, all of which say stuff like "Bisphenol A is an industrial chemical used primarily to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins – both of which are used in countless applications that make our lives easier, healthier and safer, each and every day."<br /><br /> or undermine the article i linked too " * The study has not been replicated by other scientists.<br /> * Comprehensive, large-scale studies (while they may in theory have failed to detect increased oocyte chromosomal abnormalities) have not shown any increase in actual birth defects.<br /> * Previous studies appearing to show BPA effects have not been reproducible.<br /> * The single study by Hunt is unlikely to change the prevailing weight of scientific evidence, which the FDA and other scientific bodies say show no risk from "environmental endocrine disruptors."<br /> * Health effects in humans are probably even less likely than health effects in mice, since a recent study (by Volkel et al) suggests that BPA is far more rapidly and completely metabolized in humans than in rodents, decreasing the odds of it doing damage by lingering in the body.<br /> * Humans are not routinely exposed to the large amounts of the chemical that the mice were.
