Bisphenol-A continues to confuse

The FDA announced this week that it thinks bisphenol-A is not toxic for adults and children, but that they aren't sure about its safety for infants. The New York Times has a more readable summary of the story.

But the Environmental Working Group claims that the source studies the FDA used to arrive at its conclusions are scientifically flawed, using standards set 50 years ago by chemical manufacturers.

Update 9/4: And now the National Toxicology Program (say what?) has issued a report voicing "some concern" about bisphenol-a and development in infants and children.
