New article out giving credence to the infamous bad guy BPA and how it may also inhibit the effects of chemo in breast cancer patients.

Hey mainey,
Thanks for the article! I was just talking about BPA yesterday w coworkers because they were asking me why I always have camelback brand water bottles.
How much more eveidence does the FDA need to ban this damn stuff??
I don`t want to think anything interfered with my chemo!! It`s bad enough going through it and we certainly don`t want it to be for nothing!!

Terri ~ Amen!
What gets me is that as I understand it Lexan is the label of the BP formula and damned if Lexan isn't used for just about everything. They'll never be able to ban Lexan because it is a GE product and it's already in our households and has been since it raised its head in the '50's.
I get teased all the time now about my water bottles but consider myself to be on a mission!
