Thanks to the Early BPA Pioneers
With today's news about BPA, it's time to give thanks to those early advocates who sounded the alarm on BPA in bottles years ago. Plus, a list of resources and an easy way to give to support the Environmental Working Group's efforts.
This afternoon, the US National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, released a draft reportindicating that low dose exposure to BPA plastics may be linked tobreast cancer, prostate cancer, early puberty in girls and behavioralchanges such as hyperactivity. And it's rumored that the Canadiangovernment will take an even stronger step on Wednesday, naming BPA a"dangerous substance."
Many feel that this report is long overdue. The fact is, for yearsnow, early pioneers such as the Environmental Working Group and savvymedia outlets like The Wall Street Journal have been warning of the potential risks of BPA. Just last August, a group of 38 medical researchers warned again of the potential risks.
