U.S. Report issues “Warnings and Concerns” about BPA-
Submitted by Non-Toxic Kids
Finally! The National Toxicology Program, in its draft report, labeled BPA as a chemical of concern (shocking, I know, to anyone who has been reading anything about parenting lately, especially this blog and many others-). The National Toxicology Program’s findings are used by the FDA and the EPA to regulate certain chemicals.
These findings are much different than an expert panel found just last year, but those studies have been widely disputed because of much of the study done by scientists hired by the chemical industry (no conflict of interest there!).
In this article from today’s Washington Post, I learned that 3 states are considering outright bans of BPA: California (ah, the sunshine state may do it again), Maine, and New Jersey. Where is Vermont?
Now it looks like some politicians are paying attention, too, and calling on the FDA to regulate the use of BPA.
It’s heating up folks. And everyone thought we were overreacting. Take action to tell baby bottle manufacturers to stop using BPA in baby bottles, and to not wait for government action (because we all know how long that can take) by clicking here. At least now we have some momentum on our side, and action will soon hopefully follow.
