STATS: Top US EPA scientist rejects Consumer Reports’ BPA claim

STATS: "Magazine’s criticism of latest EPA study showing no adverse effects from BPA recycles “ad-hominem attack” repeatedly shown to be “without scientific merit,” says EPA’s Senior Reproductive Toxicologist.

Several days before Consumer Reports issued its dire warning about the presence of the chemical Bisphenol A (BPA) in canned foods, a major study by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), published in one of the leading peer-reviewed toxicology journals, Toxicological Sciences, concluded that exposure to BPA was not associated with many of the adverse effects the magazine alleged."
