French food safety agency goes junk science on BPA; Claims BS mouse study shows fetal exposure causes adult breast cancer

1. Yeah, but great for jumping to conclusions.

2. Ok, I see it now – minimum of 5 mice for each study group – so what is that, 15 plus the control? Hard to make determinations without hard numbers.

3. Does anyone see how many animals were used for the study? Maybe I’m being obtuse this morning, but so far, my only conclusion that can be definitely drawn is there was at least two (they use mice, not mouse), but beyond that, I can’t find anything that looks like real numbers in THIS version of the study:

4. Anything to “prove” your obsession.

5. Either that or that the French live in an alternative universe. Remember their study ‘proving’ GM grain causes cancer?

6. Great comment, Bob. Thank you.

7. So, do we conclude that leaving food about in BPA containers is a good way to control the mouse population?
