New BPA study...even more reasons to avoid it

Yet another study came out today which found that the chemical BPA, found in many plastics and all sorts of food containers, may lead to serious health problems:  this time, it's linked to heart disease and diabetes.  Very scary.  And the FDA still says it's safe, despite all kinds of studies to the contrary.  Kind of like how the government said lead paint was safe many years ago while kids played with lead-painted toys and people lived in lead-painted homes, I guess.  Click here and here to read more.  I'm not so sure how much longer the FDA can turn a blind eye without seeming totally irresponsible.
