All major industry studies into bisphenol A's safety, and they number about a dozen, haven't found anything worrisome in low-dose exposures. However, about 90 per cent of studies by independent researchers over the past decade, numbering about 150, have found adverse effects, ranging from enlarged prostates to abnormal breast tissue growth.

Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group:
The Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group promotes the business interests and general welfare of the polycarbonate and bisphenol A (BPA) industry through relevant technical, communications, and public policy activities. The membership consists of most of the major manufacturers of polycarbonate plastic and BPA worldwide.

The first evidence of the estrogenicity of bisphenol A came from experiments in the 1930s in which it was fed to ovariectomised rats. Some hormone disrupting effects in studies on animals and human cancer cells have been shown to occur at levels as low as 2-5 ppb (parts per billion).

Não posso querer ser nada. À parte isso, tenho em mim todos os sonhos do mundo. | Fernando Pessoa. I have neither desires nor ambitions. To be a poet is not my ambition. It is my way of being alone. ---------------------------------- I'm nothing. I'll always be nothing. I can't wish to be anything. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams of the world. |
