Along those same lines, Canada outlawed hydrogenated oils a long time ago...here it's still pervasive in our food.

We did? We still have hydrogenated fats in our food.

So do ALL bottles have the chemical in them? Of not, how do you know which ones do and which ones don't?

Canada is working on banning trans fats but it's not there yet (and there are huge challenges). I don't think it's quite the same...

Assume polycarbonate contains bP-A unless it's advertised as bP-A free.

There were a lot of news stories around new years about trans-fats being phased out. Burger King had to change the type of fryer oil they used. Hydrogenated oils are still going strong though, at least according to the margarine container in my fridge.

I think MEC was one of the first companies to stop selling the ones with the chemical, so if you're a MEC fan then just shop there.
