		<description>I know that when I drink out of plastic I can taste it and its nasty - I know there is alternatives like PLA plastics, stainless steel and glass which dont leach anything at normal temperatures we live in - 

if it takes much to test it and you have to worry about when it heats up during shipping which prob can reach high temps it requires more regulations than the hassle its worth when there are good alternatives that cost the same - but if you want to defend it for defense sake ok 

but it is true that it probably is better to label it than ban it and jump to conclusions too soon I mean the market will ban it anyways by looking for alternative products 
and it may  have good uses elsewhere I agree govt should not ban products but people possibly have a right to sue if companies infringe on there rights and false advertising etc

also because there hasn&#039;t been long term tests; our testing has improved nowadays also and also it can take generations to know the real outcomes, we cant see the forest past the trees, you might think 40 years is long enough but I dont

maybe your head is just filled with bpa&#039;s lol just kidding but  better alternative are out there I wish there were more stainless steel and PLA plastics available now even duran glass would be good I think probably - just make sure the stainless steel is not coated with plastic or is aluminum inside

it is better to be safe than sorry when there are alternatives out there that wont break the bank; and who knows - it&#039;s possible there is interest in finding these bad from competing industries (there definaly is the other way) and maybe they will be also found unsafe in the future but I know I am gonna avoid bpa&#039;s 
and I am not a baby so I think it would be even worser for a baby 

I mean you can feel the oils leaching out and definatley taste it or I can and always have for years thats what made me start to look into this whole thing &amp; just for tastes sake dont feed this to your kids - heres some plastic coming up mmm tasty yumm, some bisphenol a just what I needed mmm - I would rather drink from the tap anyways

there is so much to be concerned with vaccines with mercury and flouride and more but its better we keep trying to find out at least everyone is concerned I suppose</description>

		<description>What, were you paid to make this claim and the HFCS claim? This is not the truth as you so righteously claim in your headline.</description>

		<description>Personally, I am happy to see that because government has thus far refused to condemn BPA, people who are passionate about this subject have been taking their stand at the cash register.  Many people are choosing to purchase BPA-free products and certainly manufacturers have taken notice.  I am a proponent of taking personal responsibility for ourselves instead of over-regulating everything and everyone.  Making thoughtful purchasing decisions is the number one way to do that in the United States.  Industry will follow where there is money to be made (and abandon what is no longer profitable).  As I always say, we have the power to make changes, but it doesn&#039;t have to include bullying everyone else into lock step with our choices by regulating what they are allowed to do.</description>

		<description>NewsMom,
Two thirds compared to what?  And the question remains is BPA hazardous?  Not yet been proven or accepted as such.  And is the fact that it is passing through the urine instead of being absorbed by the body not a good thing? The body expels many things it can&#039;t use through the urine.  If it didn&#039;t thousands of Americans would be suffering daily of Vitamin C overdose poisoning.</description>

New research by Harvard School of Public Health found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles showed a two-thirds increase of BPA in their urine.
Experts warned that babies are at greater risk, because heating baby bottles increases the amount of BPA released, and the chemical is potentially more harmful to infants.

Study author Karin B. Michels, associate professor of epidemiology at HSPH and Harvard Medical School, said: &quot;We found that drinking cold liquids from polycarbonate bottles for just one week increased urinary BPA levels by more than two-thirds.

&quot;If you heat those bottles, as is the case with baby bottles, we would expect the levels to be considerably higher.</description>

		<description>Miriam - the environmental working group says that while some of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ewg.org/node/27257#2&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;cans of powdered formula are lined with BPA it doesn&#039;t seem to leach into the formula&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Actually there is a nice JAMA article looking at human exposure and whatnot.  The baby bottle itself doesn&#039;t scare me (boiling water yadda yadda)-- it&#039;s more the canned formula that makes me nervous.  Course, there are other reasons to avoid canned formula (cost etc)...
I&#039;m going with glass mostly because it&#039;s cheap as all hell and is a lot easier to clean (ugh-- milk off plastic.  Gag me).  I&#039;m pretty sure that the BPA free plastic alternatives (bottles, sippy cups) are pricey because they can...</description>
