BILL MOYERS JOURNAL | EXPOSÉ: CHEMICALS IN OUR FOOD | PBS

http://www.pbs.org/billmoyers There may be a potentially dangerous chemical leaching into our food from the containers that we use every day. THE JOURNAL and EXPOSÉ examine why, even though studies show that the chemical Bisphenol A can cause cancer and other health problems in lab animals, the manufacturers, their lobbyists, and U.S. regulators say it's safe. Aired Friday, May 23, at 9p.m. on PBS (check local listings). For more: http://www.pbs.org/billmoyers

NEVER leave our safety to those who have a vested interested in screwing us over.

It's reporting like this that makes us think about moving back into a cabin on a mountainside and growing everything we consume.

[elchafa]

The numbers don't lie: 80% of tests showed that BPA caused harm to lab animals & of the 20% that said it caused no harm, 75% was funded by the industry.

Reasonable conclusions: 1) BPA causes harm, 2) the industry lies to make profit disregarding the safety of the very consumers they need to make that profit, 3) The people in the industry are either retarded, greed-blinded or evil.

Who watches the watchmen?

Can anyone believe that we are so drown in stupid idiotic reality shows and bullshit on every channel, and this is probably on one of the least watched television stations? The multinational corporations own our lives, almost everything in our society is sold out to them. I think that we should rise up and fight them to the death. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees, is it not?

[GodlessViking]

@anmoose Or perhaps about raising up our arms against the true government behind the puppets. The massive multinational organizations and the incredibly wealthy. We are many, they are few! The six thousand people who watched this could easily take them all on, there can't be more than five-hundred of them total. You can't even live on your own land for free, so you really have nothing to lose as a free person other than your life. I say that, but I'm not doing anything either.

Thank You for acurate reporting....

@anmoose It's not just oral intake that causes harm, it's skin-contact as well. Read up on it..

[anmoose]

@Meowbay,

I don't own a touchpad. Perhaps my mouse contains some in one or another of the plastics used, but I've never tried to eat it...

[Meowbay]

@anmoose You realize your computer mouse, or touchpad, also contains loads of Bis-Phenol A ?

[Judobigdog]

This is kick ass research work and what should be done when going up any governmental agency. Hours upon hours of review, sorting, evaluating and framing strong, logical and factual conclusions. Well done reporters!

[goshrin]

We need this info out in the pubic more than it is...!
