BPA is “a phenomenally potent chemical,” says scientist
by Phyllis Wheeler ~ December 14th, 2009.USA Today has created a Web page giving information on the BPA controversy. BPA, you recall, is a man-made estrogen that the plastics industry has been using to strengthen clear plastics, like those used for water bottles, baby bottles, and tin can liners.
On the USA Today BPA page, Frederick Vom Saal, a professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, speaks on an audio recording. While the BPA concentrations used are low, he says, “this is a phenomenally potent chemical.” BPA has been linked with cancer and with late puberty in boys, early puberty in girls. The FDA has maintained that it thinks it is safe, but is currently reviewing its position, in the face of growing outcry.
If you want to keep your family safe from this chemical, don’t buy bottled water or soda. Instead, get the safest water source: a home water filter. Multi-Pure’s home water filter is the best triple-carbon filter on the market. It is certified to remove the most toxins, while allowing the healthful minerals we need, like calcium, to remain in the water. It’s durable. It has the best warranty on the market, too: 90 days satisfaction, and lifetime warranty on the housing. Shouldn’t you take a look?
