It was 20 yrs ago that it was discovered BPA leached from containers when scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine found a substance contaminating their tests and traced it back to their polycarbonate lab flasks (looking forward to your response, Rodeoboy http://boatertalk.com/forum/BoaterTalk/1466111 )....and 11 yrs after Our Stolen Future reported this and subsequent findings implicating it to a host of health concerns. Of course, we have been too consumed with prime time and posting on Boater Talk to notice any thing of that nature. We'll just wait for our government to warn us of any dangers that might be lurking out there...even if it takes them 20 yrs. It would be plum nutty to do otherwise.....
