Please help to tell the FDA to ban BPA and take an important step to a healthier world!
We the undersigned would like to urge the EPA to immediately investigate and ban the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) from consumer products in the United States. This chemical has been the subject of many studies and has been repeatedly found to cause a number of terrible health problems including cancer, obesity, attention deficit disorder, and genital abnormalities both boys and girls.
The FDA is responsible for the food safety in the United States and in the past has done many important things to improve the overall safety of food in this country. Please take the next important step towards a healthier America by immediately investigating the studies on Consumer Reports and the recent article by Nicholas D. Kristof in the New york Times which both stand behind the fact that BPA is dangerous.
Thank you in advance for protecting Americans from the harmful effects of BPA, I know many people will sleep better at night knowing that their friends and family are safe from this threat to America's health!
We signed the "Ban BPA In all Consumer Products" petition!

It is a shame on the civilized world that we are allowing this to happen. We keep saying we are the greatest country in the world and in the meantime all we care about is making more money at the cost of lives. We are knowingly sickening our nation and it needs to stop!

The evidence is building, BPA is not user friendly for human consumption. We need to insure that especially babies are protected from this harmful substance.

They suggested I add a comment about *why* BPA should be banned; unfortunately, all I can think of is, this is a _*_no-brainer_*_!
