FDA Says Study Found BPA Unlikely To Be Dangerous To Human Health.

On its website, NBC News (2/25, Fox) reports the FDA announced Friday that a new study by the National Toxicology Program suggests the chemical known as bisphenol A, or BPA, “is unlikely to be harmful to people in the doses usually seen.” Dr. Stephen Ostroff, an FDA deputy commissioner, explained, “Overall, the study found ‘minimal effects’ for the BPA-dosed groups of rodents. ... Our initial review supports our determination that currently authorized uses of BPA continue to be safe for consumers.” NBC says, “The report covers years of testing BPA in many different groups of rats for two years.” https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/bpa-unlikely-be-harmful-federal-study-shows-n850826?cid=public-rss_20180223
