Wow--Canada likely to ban bisphenol-a as a toxin

Don't miss this article in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/business/worldbusiness/16plastic.html

Bisphenol-a, which has been shown to disrupt the hormonal systems of animals, is present in most hard baby bottles, Nalgene bottles, the inside lining of almost all canned goods, and many other hard plastics. Go Canada! I wonder how long it will take for the U.S. to catch up?
