Healthy Food bisphenol A dangerous hormones fda
One dangerous, widely used and well researched chemicals that is found in many plastics is called Bisphenol A, or BPA for short. This chemical is found in sippy cups, the epoxy linings of canned food, baby bottles and countless other items. The organisations producing these products have fought hard and must have somehow bought out the FDA. It is obviously clear through years of research that the hormone disrupting chemical is dangerous, but through aggressive Search Engine Marketing, the creation of websites such as bisphenol-a.org, by employing their own scientists and lobbyists, and possibly buying out the FDA, Big Plastic has triumphed as the FDA has given their ruling that BPA is not dangerous. This has outraged the scientific community, including scientists, doctors and politicians with half a brain.

The main problem with BPA is that it's being used in CANNED FOODS and baby bottles such at Avent's plastic baby bottles. Numerous studies have shown that when the baby bottles are exposed to boiling water or when they are put through the dishwasher they break down and the BPA seeps into the baby's milk/formula.

When legitimate scientists have conducted studies on BPA, it is consistently linked
to obesity, developmental problems, risk for heart attack, and breast and
prostate cancer. Even if there was the slightest chance that BPA was dangerous the FDA should've banned it from plastics, especially BABY BOTTLES. What could be worse for a baby then to expose them to these risks?!?!?!
