New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
SAN FRANCISCO, July 6 (UPI) -- San Francisco has banned the use of a sturdy plastic made from a molecule called BPA and found in water bottles, baby bottles and canned food linings.
The action was taken after scientists voiced fears the plastic could be harmful, leading to banning of all bottles and toys made from BPA in San Francisco, ABC News reports.
Elsewhere, it's legal. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the American Plastics Council insist BPA is safe. But, some scientists say it may cause cancer, early puberty, obesity and even attention-deficit disorder.
