Great article on plastics (Esp. for hormone positive)

My nephew posted this on Facebook. (I love when the younger generation thinks about things that matter.)

    Excellent article!! The public needs to know these dangers to boycott these products.  Only then will the companies listen if their products are left sitting on store shelves.

    Yes, I love seeing stories like this! I'm glad to see the younger generation concerned, too. It kills me thinking of how many chemicals little kids and babies, especially, are exposed to these days. It's time we got these chemicals banned.

    Great links you guys. Another and a gazillion indications of how corrupt the system can be. 

    Mab quoting from your link.... 

    QUOTE (bold for emphasis, mine)

    Update (3/3/14): After this story went to press, the US Food and Drug Administration published a paper
    finding that BPA was safe in low doses. However, due to laboratory
    contamination, all of the animals—including the control group—were
    exposed to this chemical. Academic scientists say
    this raises serious questions about the study's credibility. Stay tuned
    for more in-depth reporting on the FDA's most recent study.

    Unquote

    Moral of this story, don't trust the FDA. Govts, Companies and various bodies can be bought off. We are left with the inevitable question : who's trials, study's and results do you believe? How sad is it when there's more we need to look at than just someones study and results. Id also suggest some common sense wouldn't hurt... like, how long have plastics been around. Not that long, in the big scheme of things. Plastic has become a monstrous curse everywhere you look and its almost, if not totally, impossible to get it out of our lives. This is only ONE huge indication of why cancer has become an epidemic.
