COMMENTS: FDA Rapped on BPA
Both NBC's Tom Costello and ABC's Lisa Stark (no link) covered dissent in the ranks of the Food & Drug Administration. When the FDA issued a finding that Bisphenol A, the synthetic hormone used to manufacture many plastic bottles, poses no threat to human health, it commissioned an independent panel to double-check its conclusions. Stark summarized: "It was a major omission when the FDA failed to consider numerous studies in animals that have linked BPA to cancer, diabetes and other health problems. Instead they depended on industry-sponsored research to conclude BPA is safe."
