what part of test fodder don't you understand

.A federal report finds 'some concern' that fetuses, babies and children are at risk from bisphenol A.

But plastics industry officials see no serious risk.
A controversial, estrogen-like chemical in plastic could be harming the development of children's brains and reproductive organs, a federal health agency concluded in a report released Tuesday. The National Toxicology Program, part of the National Institutes of Health, concluded that there was "some concern" that fetuses, babies and children were in danger because bisphenol A, or BPA, harmed animals at low levels found in nearly all human bodies. Plastics industry representatives stressed that the agency found "no serious or high-level concerns." They call the lab animal experiments inconclusive and flawed. Steven G. Hentges of the American Chemistry Council's polycarbonate/BPA group said the findings "provide reassurance that consumers can continue to use products made from bisphenol A." "The limited evidence for effects in laboratory animals at low doses primarily highlights opportunities for additional research to better understand whether these findings are of any significance to human health," he said. Canada is expected soon to declare BPA a toxic substance, which would be followed by proposals to control its use. California and other states have considered but not adopted bans on BPA in products.

What part of test fodder don’t you understand…?

Your EPA – FDA – USDA – doesn’t know if these “plastics” have any long term deleterious health affects and further more they don’t give a damn.

And moreover corporate America has these same agencies in their hip pocket$ to make sure “we” don’t interfere with their long term profit$.

Life is $weet when you’re part of corporate America.

And “we” just merrily go along content with our heads firmly implanted in the sand, see noting, do nothing, say nothing…

Folks we’re that 900# gorilla “they” truly fear…!
