Environmental Defence: Ban Bisphenol A in all Food and Beverage Containers

Bisphenol A has made front page news again, and this time the concern is over bisphenol A found in cans of pop and energy drinks. Recently, a study conducted by Health Canada found bisphenol A in 96% of all of the drink cans tested, including carbonated, non-carbonated, diet, non-diet, fruit-flavoured and energy drinks. With the spotlight now on bisphenol A in drink cans, we need to use this momentum to get rid of the harmful chemical in cans that many children drink from every day.
