i just love the way that science catches-up with technology years after the damage has been done! But let's not be too hard on BPA. i mean, considering its suspected ability to help cause hormonal imbalances, just think about the effects it must have had on society! i've heard a bit about estrogen in the water supply--from birth control pills largely, i've heard, unable to be filtered out of the water supply. But now BPA, which resembles estrogen, in baby bottles and tupperware, water bottles! Just when you thought you were safe from the tap water, the water bottle helps speed your inevitable emasculation!

And this: Senators rip EPA over lack of knowledge on drugs in water.
