Family isn't waiting for FDA to ban BPA

The Orange County Register: "Earlier this month, the Food and Drug Administration released a highly-anticipated report on BPA, which called for more study to determine the risk, particularly to children. The agency said $30 million in research is under way and offered suggestions for reducing exposure, especially for babies and toddlers drinking from bottles and sippy cups. The studies should be completed within two years, the agency said.

The Kernells aren't waiting around for the results.
Their first-born daughter died of Turner syndrome, a condition resulting from a missing or incomplete sex chromosome. Their 7-year-old daughter suffered from migraines as a toddler. The couple's 3-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with diabetes insipidus, a hormonal disorder that causes excessive thirst. Their 1-year-old son turns pale and aggressive when exposed to plastic. They can't definitively prove it, but they believe BPA is the common link."
