uhhhh, BPA (bis phenol A) might actually linger on for a long time in the body, reports this Plastics News article, Rochester study says BPA may linger in the body. Just when you thought it might be safe, this bit of news is worrisome. It might mean that there are more possible sources of BPA exposure running around, and/or it just hangs around in the body longer in certain tissues like fat.

Bisphenol A (BPA): Use in Food Contact Application - U.S. Food and Drug Administration

---  the original post follows below  ---

I don't know what to believe. Here's what I'm reading, US health regulators now seem to think that a chemical, bisphenol A, used to make plastic for baby bottles and food-can liners that has been linked to possible cancer risks is safe at current exposure levels. For a quick easy digestible read, look at this WebMD article, "Bisphenol A Safe, Says FDA." I like the way the subject is presented in the way of 3 'views':

1. View No.1: No Need to Worry
2. View No. 2: Cause for Concern
3. View No. 3: The Precautionary Approach

I think this issue is complex. If you want to see what I mean, just try to read the 105 page draft report just released by the FDA, "Draft assessment of bisphenol A for use in food contact applications." 

If plastic baby bottles worry you, then consider buying this book: Your Baby's First Year (Second Edition)
