Drum roll please. The FDA now says BPA should be “of some concern” for children and infants. The new stance on BPA represents a partial reversal for the agency, which has in the past contended that BPA – which is used to make infant bottles, sippy cups, and other &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most consumers have heard that lead in children’s toys and other products can cause problems with brain development, lower IQ, and other devastating injuries. Still others also have heard about the tragic health effects of the plastic chemical bisphenol A (BPA), which has been linked to sexual dysfunction and genital deformities in adults and children alike.

		<description><![CDATA[A new study finds exposure to the toxic plastic chemical Bisphenol-A (BPA) can cause damage to the intestines. BPA exposure has long been linked to reproductive damage, developmental delays, and other harmful effects in humans. The new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy Sciences Journal found BPA damages the intestines. Rats exposed to higher doses of BPA developed damage to the lining of the intestines called poor intestinal permeability or leaky gut syndrome, the French study found. &#8230;]]></description>

BPA, as it is commonly known, has been linked to severe developmental delays, sexual dysfunction, and other injuries to people exposed to high levels of the chemical. Young children and unborn babies who are exposed to the chemical are particularly vulnerable. BPA exposure also has been linked to impotence &#8230;]]></description>
