- sbov 7y agoBecause companies don't have to prove something is safe, you have to prove something unsafe. Reminds me of the BPA free garbage. Many of the replacements are/were worse than BPA. But no one seemed to care.
- djsumdog 7y agoThe complaint about BPA was that it's an estrogen mimic (parts of the human body can react to it as if it were estrogen). If you eat a lot (a whole lot) of soy products, soy can do the same. BPA has mostly been replaced with BPS ... which is also an estrogen mimic.
