How much is okay to you? This needs to be removed from anything that comes in contact with food that we put into our bodies. We can go back to the oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Lets do it!!!

It's a George Mason university site that examined the whole BPA issue as a third party. It is remarkable reading. In short, the media, and even the new media here in blogs like this one, are guilty of chicken little behaviour and not digging into an issue -- but instead just regurgitating rumor and innuendo for readership. All the BPA tests that showed a problem (literally 100%) were studies in which animal subjects were INJECTED with BPA. In all the studies in which BPA was orally ingested, even at ridiculous levels, there was literally no problem. That appears to be because our digestive system pairs up a sugar molecule with the BPA molecule and it gets excreted in urine. This whole thing is a farce. I'm no scientist, but you can't use an injection study to simulate an ingestion risk. The only thing worse than an untrustworthy government, is untrustworthy media. Due diligence folks!!
