The fear over bisphenol A is understandable. That something as innocuous as feeding infants from baby bottles could cause irreparable harm to their development is scary, and preemptive measures are worth taking if there is sound science to back it up. Concern over the danger of bisphenol A has picked up steam as researchers look at the effects of low concentrations, which had previously been assumed harmless. The decision by the Canadian government to declare bisphenol A toxic is bold, since the research is working towards (but hasn't established) causality between human use of the chemical and harm (obesity, breast cancer, and neurological and developmental damage).
