Freddie vom Saal & Pattie Hunt: Opinion: FDA’s decision on BPA exposes Catch 22

Can anyone recall someone not these two who has generated any anti-BPA stuff? None just spring to mind.

The FDA’s decision to reject a petition to ban bisphenol A in food packaging exposes a serious Catch 22 in the federal mindset. Its repeated rejection of virtually all research from independent, university laboratories is disturbing, and it raises questions about whether the agency genuinely aims to protect the health of Americans. The FDA has relied instead on a small number of studies funded by industries that manufacture BPA. Science evolves rapidly, and federal agencies should be using the very latest and most sensitive techniques for testing BPA and other chemicals.

  1. I reckon these guys need to read Catch 22.

  2. Only if you are not actually looking for evidence of endocrine disruption will you not find it. There are hundreds, and I do mean hundreds, of scientists researching endocrine disruptors, and there is at least one new primary research article on the effects of bisphenol based endocrine disruptors every week. I hope the sand dune your head is parked in is comfortable.
