Against our best efforts, the newest BPA headline and its accompanying “study” managed to worm its way into today’s Dispatch, but only as an example of the utterly absurd. “Bisphenol A linked to sterility in roundworm,” Canada’s CBC News tells us. But the study wasn’t a complete waste of time and money — some of us got a good laugh out of it.
“I only wonder how much federal money — that’s your tax money, by the way — went towards this study. I personally would be more concerned about the effect on square worms,” ACSH’s Dr. Josh Bloom jokes.
“Well that’s the trouble: Bisphenol A turns roundworms square. I guess it’s hip to be square,” quips ACSH's Dr. Gilbert Ross.
This news should only trouble worms
