Bisphenol A (BPA) Contaminating Our Food

• Why are people getting sicker? Why is cancer getting more prevalent? Could it be we are being poisoned by industrial chemicals in our food? Is there a hidden agenda to ‘feminized’ males and control population?  YouTube :
   
  Bisphenol A is found in most plastic food containers today. Not only is it found in plastic containers, but also in the lining of most cans. BPA is essentially a synthetic estrogen that enters the body when one consumes food or beverages out of plastic or plastic-lined containers.
   
  This is not only harmful to the male reproductive system, but has been found to also stimulate breast cancer growth in women. Knowing this, it should be of no surprise that the sperm count of the average Western male is on a steady decline as many males are becoming more and more feminine. What most people don’t know is that Bisphenol A was actually considered as the form of estrogen to be used in estrogen pills going back to the 1930s.
   
• Group Raises New Concerns About BPA Packaging:
   
  There is a new mission to rid consumer products of a chemical believed by some to cause cancer. NewsCenter 5′s Shiba Russell reported that the Food and Drug Administration said Bisphenol A, or BPA, is safe, but some scientists disagree.
   
  “Unfortunately at this point, it’s really hard to avoid this chemical because it’s found in so many consumer products,” said Namasha Schelling, of Clean Water Action. BPA, found in products from baby bottles to canned goods, has been linked to breast and prostate cancer.
   
  “It needs to be regulated. We can’t just let companies put out any product they want. It needs to be regulated by the government,” Schelling said. Eden Foods is the only U.S. company packing most of its organic products in BPA-free cans. Its highly acidic tomato products still need the chemical for shelf life.

  Tufts University researcher Laura Vandenberg is leading five studies on how low levels of BPA affect rodents. “They develop problems with their mammary glands, including lesions that would be a cancer in a human being,” she said. Clean Water Action is urging the state to ban all BPA-lined products intended for children under 3.
   
• Government of Canada Protects Families With Bisphenol A Regulations :
   
  On October 17, 2008, the Government of Canada announced it will immediately proceed with drafting regulations to prohibit the importation, sale and advertising of polycarbonate baby bottles that contain bisphenol A (BPA).  The Government will also take action to limit the amount of bisphenol A that is being released into the environment.
