BPA's in Cans

The Washington Post had a great article today, "Alternatives to BPA Containers Not Easy for U.S. Foodmakers to Find." I knew the FDA had reversed its position on the substance, but not that BPA's have been found in the urine of 90% of Americans! It was also great to read that companies are making efforts to remove the substance (even if it's only because the public is worried!)

You can read more on the subject, and see further information on the health risks at the Environmental Working Group site. In mid-January they sent a letter demanding the FDA curb BPA's use.
