BPA harm not scientifically conclusive

While its hard to read the press release from the World Health organization below and make any sense of the tortured language, it basically says that while food is the main source of BPA exposure, the science as to its effects is inconclusive.  Also, BPA is eliminated from the body rather quickly.  Was it a good idea to rush to remove it from plastics, like baby bottles?  What do you think - better safe than sorry?

The meeting concluded that, at this stage, it is difficult to interpret the relevance of these studies in the light of current knowledge of this compound. Until these associations can be confirmed, initiation of public health measures would be premature.
