Urge the U.S. to ban bisphenol a
Dear Commissioner von Eschenbach, I am writing to voice my opposition to the continued use of bisphenol-A in the production of plastics for food packaging. Bisphenol A has been proven to act as a hormone disruptor and yet it continues to be found in many everyday products including food cans, plas-tic water containers and baby bottles. Studies show that people are exposed to Bisphenol A when it leaches out of these products and a recent consensus of 38 respected scientists confirmed that low-doses are harmful to our health. The health of Americans should be first priority in the view of your agency. I would respectfully request that the FDA take measures to remove this chemical from food packaging by banning its use. Sincerely,
Comment
