  • The Bisphenol A Blues

    Your readers might want to note that the Government of Canada has just listed Bisphenol A as a dangerous chemical which means that products using this substance must replace it as soon as possible. I guess we will be going back to tinny tasting canned goods since it is also used for coating cans with a bisphenol/ epoxy interior coat..One hopes that there is a replacement in the works that is safe and functional. Polycarbonate is a great plastic product but not for ingestion, it seems.
