More on BPA

NatureMomsBlog has an informative post up about BPA--specifically, a report on the suppression of information by big business (and allowed by the government) regarding how harmful it is to humans. Since this has been a trend in the United States for a long time (she mentions out lead, PCBs, tobacco, and DDT; we could also add in pesticides, parabens, childhood vaccines, and countless others), as she points out, "This is why consumers need to educate themselves about BPA [and the other substances infiltrating our food, water, air, and bodies] and let their money do the talking." Amen to that. Though it would also be nice to think that just maybe, we're entering a new era of accountability...as for that, time will tell.
