Today the American Medical Association released a study suggesting concern about bisphenol A— or BPA. After surveying almost 1500 adults, the AMA found that those individuals exposed to BPA were more likely to have heart disease and diabetes. Shortly afterward, the FDA defended its position that BPA is safe. No doubt about it, the debate will continue for years to come. “Right now, our tentative conclusion is that it’s safe, so we’re not recommending any change in habits,” Laura Tarantino, head of the FDA’s office of food additive safety, said. At the same time, however, she acknowledged, “there are a number of things people can do to lower their exposure.”
One of her recommendations was previously recommended on this web site; avoid plastic bottles with the number 7 in the recycle triangle. About 90 percent of Americans have traces of BPA in their bodies. The FDA claims the levels of exposure are too low to pose a health risk, even in infants and children.
