Bisphenol

Thats a weird chemical. Why do I care?
Its present in many plastics. It is the basic building block for polycarbonate, the see-through, shatter-proof plastic that resembles glass, and is also used to make the epoxy resins lining the insides of most tin cans, along with some dental sealants, sports helmets, and compact discs

Yes. So what?
Its a potential endocrine disruptor. That means it could be toxic.

Says who?
Health Canada.

Anyone who has been following such news regularly will not be stunned by the report itself but will be stunned by the regularity of such news items. It is easy to bring in these compunds into existence but is almost an insurmountable task to get them out from the market and the bodies of living species. If it is tough to do that it in Canda, its next to impossible in India. This means, more untraceable health effects on the common man. This means, even if you are active, eat healthy home made food at correct times, dont have any bad habits and are a good person, you could still end up with cancer of the stomach antrum. Though ironically, this might actually mean more GDP, Gross National Happiness is certain to be hit.

From what I read, this compound is quite widely used. Any ideas / comments from chemists / chemical engineers?
