But many places still give BPA based receipts, and many have switched to BPS instead.
- cies 6y agoWow. That's good news. It finally came through.
- s9w 6y agoAll of these chemicals have the same effects. I have a friend who is involved in the chemical background on these bans. He says it's known that they're all functionally identical, but there's years of research needed for each to get them banned. Nothing was won by banning BPA at all besides a false sense of security.
