The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just changed positions in the health profile of bisphenol A (BPA) chemical in baby bottles and plastic food. This compound is strongly suspected of being an “endocrine disruptor” potentially dangerous. In addition to bottles, BPA is also found in cans, cans, bottles, reusable dental cements, but in some appliances.

Yesterday reassuring FDA said today concern:

The results of recent studies using new approaches that detect more subtle effects of BPA cause concern among toxicologists of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the FDA about its potential effects on the brain and prostate gland of fetuses and young children.

Pending results of ongoing studies, the FDA has taken several steps to reduce the presence of this chemical in food. She said she supports the initiative taken in March 2009 by U.S. manufacturers no longer use BPA in the manufacture of bottles and containers of baby food in the United States. The agency now intends to toughen the rules and push the development of alternatives to reduce the presence of this substance in all food containers.
