    Banning BPA outright is probably not a good idea.  It does have its uses, and banning its use in products like DVDs that don't usually come into contact with foods seems like overkill.  Banning BPA from items that would contain or come in contact with food on the other hand seems like a reasonable move.

    It may well become a moot point if food container companies consistently tout that their product is BPA free, and any products without that assurance are left on the shelf.

    Should the FDA approve Big Pharma marketing drug treatments to healthy people

    "Instead of pushing expensive and potentially dangerous medical treatments on otherwise healthy people, would it not make more sense to simply work harder to promote healthier lifestyle choices?"

    zuvart:  Sadly there is no profit in helping people make good lifestyle choices, but there is a lot of profit in addicting us to drugs.  We become patients for life!  What people need to do is take responsibility for their own health and not let doctors pawn this stuff off on them.

    If just 20 percent of high-risk healthy individuals (i.e homosexual and  bisexual men) took Truvada , the research team found, it could prevent 41,000 new infections over a period of 20 years at a cost of about $16.6 billion.  I think the FDA will approve it and worse I think people won't take the potential SEs seriously and take the drug.
