Lets see, its found in:- CD/DVD plastic, epoxy resin, most drink containers, paints, etc yadayada. And to add insult to injury obese people are more likely to drink from cans containing it, so of course the levels are going to be higher.

Correlation does not imply causation !!

I say GOOD. The stupidity will cause people to go back to glass to 'protect their health' and as a result less plastic will be used then discarded.

Ah yeah, that hit denmark last week or so, there were articles like "your drink container will kill you" etc.

And then you read in the article that the amount of Bisphenol A is less than 30% of the allowed values or so.

I plan to die from my hobbies anyway :D

Yeah, this stuff is better known in the U.S. simply as "BPA", and has been making news for a while now because of product recalls (particularly plastic baby bottles) involving it. My wife and I recently had our second child, and decided there was no point taking risks we didn't have to take; we went with all glass baby bottles. They're nicer anyway smile

Cheers,
