Linda’s comments:  May be linked to heart disease??  Yikessssssssssssss….wake up folks, BPA is a deadly chemical that we are ingesting and having shoved at us for the sake of money.  This is why I preach to drink from glass bottles and not from cans or plastic bottles.  When they say “no significant association between BPA and diabetes or liver enzymes”, by whose standards???

Do I trust what they say when they say “May Be linked” very simple NO, I do not trust them…

Bottom-line BPA is NOT safe and we need to start standing up and say NO…when we stop purchasing products with BPA in them, then and only then will the industry listen…

Excerpt:

January 13, 2010 — Nearly everyone in the U.S. carries the plastics chemical BPA in their bodies. But those with the highest BPA levels have the highest risk of heart disease, new data confirm.

BPA — bisphenol A — is one of the world’s most heavily produced chemicals. More than 2.2 metric tons of BPA are used each year to make PVC pipes, epoxy resins that line food cans, food packaging, and drink containers. It can be detected in the bodies of more than 90% of Americans.Animal studies suggest BPA can have a wide range of health effects. But it’s not at all clear whether these animal studies are relevant to humans. In response to calls for data, the CDC in 2003-2004 began testing a representative sample of Americans for BPA as part of the huge NHANES data-collection study.
