A study released Wednesday which found that nine of 10 babies tested were born with bisphenol A in their systems has renewed calls for the chemical to be banned. In the study commissioned by the Environmental Working Group, scientists found the chemical in nine of 10 randomly selected samples of umbilical cord blood. Previous studies have found BPA in the urine of 93% of Americans tested. But Wednesday's study is the first to find it in the cord blood of U.S. newborns. "It's alarming," Janet Gray, director of the Environmental Risks and Breast Cancer project at Vassar College, said of the study results. "What more evidence do we need to act?"

"Obesity" "Neurological issues" "Thyroid function" "Prostate development and cancer" "Reproductive system and sexual behavior" (Well that explains me.)
Bisphenol A ... like Herpes ... the gift that keeps on giving. In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.
