SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12, 2008 --- Endo Blog: New Environmental Article – ‘Body Toxic’ and ‘Poisoned Profits’ – Evidence That Endometriosis/Other Conditions Are Linked To Toxins
See story about BPA below:
See the medpage TODAY story: FDA Advisers Denounce Agency's Decision on BPA Safety
Also, see video from NBC news broadcast last night (below). I should warn you that obnoxious ads may appear prior to the Nightly News clip. So if you are reading this at work, be aware of the Macy's undergarment ad that I just saw before the NBC news story on BPA. You may not want your computer blaring this ad at work. NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams ran a story last night on the topic of bisphenol A. Just scroll down to the topic and view the video clip of the NBC story that aired last night: FDA Under Fire For Lax Plastic Review
Here is an article from WebMD on BPA:
WebMD article: "Panel Criticizes FDA Bisphenol A Report"
Here is another new BPA article:
JS Online: Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinal
For more info on BPA, see this site:

See the new related article from the website "Our Stolen Future" that covers endocrine disruptors:
Our Stolen Future's new article on endocrine disruption
Finally, I'd just like to say that I have learned over several years now that endocrine disruptors are an alarming issue for women with endometriosis. I believe the FDA's disregard for scientific evidence is disturbing. The fact that Canada has banned BPA from being used in the production of baby bottles should provide a clue that the FDA needs to take a closer look at the evidence.
If you are drinking out of a plastic bottle that has the number 7 in the middle of the recycle symbol on the bottom of the bottle, you are drinking water from a bottle with BPA. This is not good for anyone but it is especially troubling for endometriosis patients.

UPDATE:
I just saw on my FEEDjit traffic monitor that someone had found this blog by searching on Google "bpa fda". When I clicked on their search terms, it took me to the following link:

I thought I'd pass it along as readers may be interested in additional details about the BPA issues. Unless consumers stop buying these dangerous products and/or write to their representatives, the companies that use BPA in their products will almost certainly continue to do so.
