Regarding regulatory assessments of BPA, none support the claim that it is hazardous to humans. For instance, a comprehensive risk assessment by the European Union's Joint Research Centre found no convincing evidence that BPA affected development or was carcinogenic.
Last year the Japanese Ministry of Environment, after extensive tests of BPA, including on animals, concluded that there was no clear evidence that BPA at low doses had endocrine disrupting consequences.
In January of this year Germany's Institute for Risk Assessment concluded that it did not "recognize any health risk for babies that are fed from baby bottles" with BPA.
And in November of last year, Dr. George Pauli of FDA wrote Greg Aghazarian of the California State Assembly that "based on all the evidence available at this time, FDA sees no reason to change its long-held position that current uses with food are safe."
