Bisphenol A (BPA)
If you're an American concerned about the effect bisphenol A (BPA) is having on your children's health, you might be better off living in China, where officials are close to issuing a partial ban on BPA--especially as it affects children.
In October, Canada declared BPA a toxic chemical, and starting in June the European Union ban on BPA will take effect. Many American cities and states have already banned some BPA-laden products, so why does the U.S. Food and Drug Administration acknowledge concerns about the health risks associated with BPA yet stop short of calling for a ban on children's products that contain BPA?
