My last BPA Update - I Swear!!
I spotted this piece today and just can’t help myself … I have to link to it for you from Fox News:
Junk Science: Anatomy of a Chemical Murder
Thursday, April 24, 2008
By Steven Milloy
Wal-Mart announced last week that it would stop selling baby bottles made with the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA.In the past, I would have laid the blame for this junk science-fueled shame at the feet of anti-chemical environmental jihadists, their pseudo-scientist henchmen at universities and government regulatory agencies and Wal-Mart’s knuckleheaded executives, who seem to be more interested in appeasing eco-pressure groups than reassuring consumers the products the retailer has sold for decades are safe.
But the banning of baby bottles made with BPA is so mind-bogglingly baseless that I just have to lay the blame where it truly belongs — with the lame-o chemical industry, which utterly failed to defend its product against activist claims and a regulatory process so specious it would cause voodoo practitioners to shudder.
Oh my. Now you see why I had to read this one. I wasn’t dissappointed. I won’t give the ending away but it made me stop to think a little about the timing on this one.
Surely, surely, there are not those in corporate America that would willingly sacrifice polycarbonate and sound science on the alter of the left in order to steal that market and increase their own profits. Would they? Really!? I hate sounding like a lefty but I do think there is a money trail to be followed here.
Mr.Hooah!, out. (probably for the weekend)

Told you that blogging is cyber-crack.
All joking aside this is the going trend these days. We throw evolution into the mixture and call it fact, we let Al Snore heat the planet up single handedly with his constant hot air blabbing about a ridiculous theory that many reputable scientists call into question (of course Al invented the Internet so those Scientists have nothing on him!), and now we disregard common sense in the polymer world.
I hope you are ready to use that art degree — at least until some whacko comes along and swears that acrylic paint is the medium of satan himself.
“Told you that blogging is cyber-crack”
Now she tells me….:lol
Keep em coming Mr.Hooah! and Miz Claire…I’m learning stuff here.
Ky Woman Hooah! out.
I’ll take my polycarbonate with a grain of salt, please.
Polycarbonate is my friend.
These are my glasses, this is my gun.. these protect my eyes, this one’s for fun.
