A bit tongue-in-cheek here, but it is surprising how many substances that are linked to diseases, cancers of various types are not banned–but imply it may cause impotence and it has gotta go. :)

I live in Canada and I approve this message! Damn, I’m happy to hear about this. No matter what people will argue, BPA is definitely not healthy. Maybe the risk isn’t huge, but I’m happy knowing that I won’t be exposed to as much risk as those in other countries now.

Thanks very much for the info, hilde. Apparently Denmark issued a temporary ban in March, and reportedly has no intention of lifting it anytime soon. I'd thought that France's ban hadn't gone through the legislature yet, but apparently it did ban the use of BPA in baby bottles in June. I'll correct the headline. -- Eliza, DISCOVER online news editor

Actually, Canada isn’t the only country which has decided BPA is toxic. It has also been banned in Denmark and France.

I think this says it all right here, “unacceptably risky levels.” Acknowledging the levels are risky, but not unacceptably risky, i.e. there’s more money to be lost by banning the substance than allowing humans to be harmed by it.

S’okay tho, public attitudes will eventually get it buried as more horror tales come out. :D
