Quotes |
Fred vom Saal:
So it's not just that you're infertile. You are unfortunately fertile enough to produce an abnormal baby. Anything stored in a polycarbonate container will contain Bisphenol A, 100%. It is certain. It is an indirect food additive. Anything stored in Bisphenol A should have Bisphenol A listed as a component of the food you are eating. What's the difference between what is put in by the food processor or what is put in as a result of the food packager? If you can legally create a situation where the food processor must tell you, why can't you create a situation where the food packager must tell you? The food packager in the United States happens to be the biggest chemical companies in the world: General Electric, Dow Chemical, uh, Shell Oil for many years, uh, you know, Bayer, Mitsubishi, these are very, very powerful corporations, and they have tremendous power over politicians.
