U.S. agency says plastic baby bottles could be harmful -- and that's news to who?

The National Toxicology Program, a part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, asked the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to re-consider their position that a chemical common in plastic baby bottles and toys is safe.

According to research by the National Toxicology Program, bisphenol A, or BPA, could be linked to early puberty in girls and prostrate and breast cancer.

We've already heard that BPA is dangerous for kids and adults. Studies have been done, reports have been read.

So what's taking the FDA so long to change their position? I have visions in my head of that movie, The Insider.

While we wait (again) for final word from th government on the FDA, you can check out glass baby bottles from Evenflo and the the Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Baby Bottle...some cool alternatives to plastic bottles.
