so i guess if you baby drinks 250 liters of boiling liquid id be worried
im quite shure canada is just making a big deal right now so they cant be blamed for doing nothing later if testing doses show its harmfull, its been around a long time aand its in almost everything so im not gonna worry

First off your units have to be WAY off, 250mg is more than half a pound. IMO it calls in to question everything else you have to say there.

As a matter of fact the US just did a study similar to the one that Canada conducted and some interesting quotes from the report are:


"There is some concern for neural and behavioural effects in fetuses, infants, and children at current human exposures"

"the possibility that bisphenol A may impact human development cannot be dismissed,"


The US report stopped short of recommending that the use of BPA be banned but I think you can hardly say that there is nothing to be concerned about. It makes more sense to avoid something that you think might be causing problems than to continue using it because you aren't absolutely 100% sure it does. Especially considering that there are many effective alternatives available.

No, his units are not off at all, I think you have yours mixed up though!

250 mg is equal to 1/4 gram and not 1/2 pound! 250 g is more than 1/2 pound...

Oh good lord, I was thinking grams when I wrote that, don't I look silly.

I still think even mg sounds pretty exaggerated though.
