    So we have to know definitively that something is harmful before we decide to avoid it? What about Catrin's helmet, that had no visible evidence of damage from her fall? Do you also think it was stupid for me to advise her to get a new one?

    None of the studies have examined BPA in combination with any of the other endocrine disruptors that are ubiquitous in our environment. The OP never said that avoiding BPA was the only step she was taking to reduce her risk. If she's like me, she's already reduced or discontinued alcohol consumption, wears nitrile gloves to change her vehicles' oil and lube their chains, doesn't allow the electric company to spray 2,4-D on her property, etc., etc. Nor did she say what her inalterable personal risk factors might be, nor would I expect her to in this forum.

    What's so important about polycarbonate tableware and packaging, that you have to sneer at people who want to avoid it?



    To the OP... why not stainless steel? Does it have to be plastic?
