Bisphenol-A: Recent News

Lots more Bisphenol-A (BPA) media coverage and regulatory developments - starting with an article in this past Thursday's Montreal Gazette reporting on a University of Sherbrooke study that examined the impact of BPA on cytotrophoblasts (cells that attach the fetus to the uterus). The study results were published in the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology. There are a couple of other recent developments relating to BPA. First, the World Health Organization's Food Safety Program will hold its October 2010 meeting of scientific experts to discuss BPA in food packaging in Ottawa. Second, the US Food and Drug Administration had planned to make an announcement on BPA and food safety by the end of November, but did not. The delay was covered by media across the US, including this article in the Los Angeles Times.
