On behalf of plastic-pushing parents everywhere, I'd like to say to government scientists: make up your damn minds!
The latest out of Washington is that, yes, once again, there is cause for concern about baby's brain development in children who consume food and drink through plastics containing BPA (bisphenol-A for those raising their children under a rock).
Just weeks ago, the FDA announced there's nothing to be worried about; there, there, silly mamas, those studies were done on rats, you're not raising rats, a little BPA never hurt no one. Well! A report that came out this week now says there is some conern that BPA exposure can cause developmental problems in brains and hormonal systems of infants and children.
From MSNBC:
Program repeats initial findings issued in April. The group — which
includes scientists from the National Institutes of Health and other
agencies — said bisphenol's risks to humans cannot be ruled out, but
acknowledged its concerns are based on the findings of studies on
animals.
A final report from the FDA is expected later this year. At this point, though, who do you even believe?
