Overview
Bisphenol
A (BPA) is an industrial chemical that has been present in many hard
plastic bottles and metal-based food and beverage cans since the 1960s.
Studies
employing standardized toxicity tests have thus far supported the
safety of current low levels of human exposure to BPA. However, on the
basis of results from recent studies using novel approaches to test for
subtle effects, both the National Toxicology Program at the National
Institutes of Health and FDA have some concern about the potential
effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses,
infants, and young children. In cooperation with the National Toxicology
Program, FDA’s National Center for Toxicological Research is carrying
out in-depth studies to answer key questions and clarify uncertainties
about the risks of BPA.
In the interim:
FDA is taking reasonable steps to reduce human exposure to BPA in the food supply. These steps include:
supporting the industry’s actions to stop producing BPA-containing baby bottles and infant feeding cups for the U.S. market;
facilitating the development of alternatives to BPA for the linings of infant formula cans; and
supporting efforts to replace BPA or minimize BPA levels in other food can linings.
FDA is supporting a shift to a more robust regulatory framework for oversight of BPA.
FDA is seeking further public comment and external input on the science surrounding BPA.
FDA
is also supporting recommendations from the Department of Health and
Human Services for infant feeding and food preparation to reduce
exposure to BPA.
FDA is not recommending that families change the
use of infant formula or foods, as the benefit of a stable source of
good nutrition outweighs the potential risk from BPA exposure.
END
I
think its necessary to purchase the bisphenol-free feeding bottles
which are more safe for kids... whats your opinion dear doctors?.  الموضوع : Your kid's health in danger ! المصدر :منتديات تقى الإسلامية الكاتب: El Helalya |
