NRDC Sues FDA For Not Taking Charge Of The Chemical BPA

As us Americans have much faith in the government (…some people), we assume that they’d protect us and not allow us all to be in contact with BPA. Guess what? It’s not true. And we’re all exposed.

The NRDC filed a lawsuit today against the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the failure to make any advances on a petition created to completely rid the use of Bisphenol A (BPA) in food containers, some food packaging, and many additional everyday materials that come into contact with food and/or liquids.

BPA is the chemical used to create polycarbonate plastics which are usually used in the creation of water bottles, baby bottles, and the “sippy cups” for toddlers. Well isn’t that great, two of the three listed are primarily for the most fragile of us all, and it all wouldn’t matter if the chemical couldn’t leak inside into the liquids inside the containers. But of course, they do. It is said to lead to complications such as chromosome abnormalities, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and even changes in brain development ultimately leading to behavioral abnormalities.

The FDA has yet to ACTUALLY acknowledge all of the new research results coming out with these harmful affects that can come along with BPA. – Know what’s even better? Studies show 90 percent of us are exposed. Do what you want FDA, but avoiding this one isn’t helping anybody.
