‘BPA in Cans and Plastic Bottles Linked to Quick Rise in Blood Pressure’

Anahad O’Connor, writing for the New York Times:

Because of growing consumer concerns, some bottles and packaged food products now carry “BPA free” claims on their labels. However, these products often contain chemically similar alternatives – like bisphenol S. One study in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that plastic products advertised as BPA-free still leached chemicals with estrogenic activity – and some of these chemicals were even more potent than BPA

Idiotic. Like a game of whack-a-mole.
