372 - BPA

I happened across a story about BPA or "bisphenol A". This chemical has been in the news recently and has it's detractors and defenders. The following links are a recent story, which lead me to wikipedia, which lead me to a story from last year. The most interesting info was in wikipedia which says the problem with this chemical has been known since the 1930's.
Look at the bottom of the plastic bottle your drinking out of (Did I trick you into pouring something on yourself?). If it's got a '7' in the triangle, your drinking a little BPA.
