Lately, I've been seeing a lot of hubbub in the news over the chemical bisphenol A. They say it's in a lot of baby products, like bottles and sippy cups and hard plastic water bottles, too. But I can't tell if this is really a big deal or just an overblown chemical panic. What's the Green Lantern's take on BPA?
You can be forgiven for being confused: There's a huge mountain of data out there about bisphenol A, and every day it seems as if a new study comes along linking the chemical to a new, scary condition. Parsing through the information is a Sisyphean task.
