The Endocrine Society is calling for the reduced use of bisphenol-A, a chemical used to harden plastics that is frequently and erroneously accused of disrupting hormones. ACSH staffers agree with rigorous FDA studies that BPA poses no risk to humans in low doses.
In this case the endocrine society is completely wrong, says ACSH s Dr. Gilbert Ross. They re making a scientifically illegitimate statement, and it s profoundly disappointing. This is a poorly disguised restatement of the low-dose phenomenon, which has been repeatedly discredited as a threat to humans.
ACSH's Dr. Elizabeth Whelan asks, If they have real medical doctors among them, why are they tolerating this junk science?
