WASHINGTON, Sept. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Chemistry Council (ACC) issued the following statement today in response to a European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) announcement about consumers and the safety of bisphenol A (BPA): For the third time since 2007, and as a result of a comprehensive review of more than 800 recent studies, EFSA has again confirmed that bisphenol A (BPA) is safe for use in products that come in contact with food," said Steven G. Hentges, Ph.D., of the American Chemistry Council.
The following statement can be attributed to Steven G. Hentges, Ph.D., of the Polycarbonate/BPA Global Group of the American Chemistry Council (ACC) regarding the study, 'Urine bisphenol-A (BPA) level in relation to semen quality,' by De-Kun Li, et. al., published in the Journal of Fertility and Sterility WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "What is important for consumers to know is that government agencies worldwide have examined the science on BPA, including a recent European Food Safety Authority review of 800 studies, and have concluded that low doses of BPA are not a risk to human health. This study of Chinese workers with high exposure to BPA is of limited relevance to consumers who, by contrast, are exposed to only very low levels of BPA.
AUGUSTA - The political debate over bisphenol-A is heating up in Maine after Gov. Paul LePage's recent comments questioning whether the controversial chemical is as dangerous as many scientists claim. And LePage's unusual quip about some women growing "little beards" from exposure to BPA likely will add another wrinkle to an issue on track to be one of the most contentious of the legislative session.

A controversial chemical found in plastic bottles, soda cans and many other common products appears to adversely affect sperm in men, according to new research. The study of more than 200 Chinese factory workers found those who were exposed to bisphenol A, or BPA, were more likely to have lower sperm counts and poorer sperm quality. The study, published in the journal Fertility and Sterility, is the first to produce evidence that the chemical could adversely affect sperm quality in humans.

Other associated factors are increased age of the father, geographic and climatic conditions, lower maternal weight, stress, pesticides, infertility treatments, methylmercury exposure (fish in the diet), and cigarette smoking. The prototypical Love Canal incident found clusters of health problems associated with pollution; but even there, skeptics have questioned how many illnesses were truly caused by the chemical exposures, and a follow-up showed no difference in mortality rates for previous residents.6 The film characterizes the Sarnia findings as "the first sign of extinction." [But] Because these exposures are fairly ubiquitous, it is probable that subjects in both these studies have been exposed to low levels of multiple agents.\n Children under 5 years of age seem to bear the l...
