“Guelph Mercury” (Canada) reports results of a University of Guelph study last week examining the effects of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) on babies and pregnant women are cause for concern. The study, conducted by a toxicologist and a graduate, found the chemical lingers in the bodies of newborns and infants, and compared with adults, newborns and infants may have up to 11 times as much BPA in their bodies.
