: From what I've read, there's very little evidence that BPA is
: dangerous when used in drink containers either, but it created a
: public panic and it was removed from such products. While that
: may be a good thing regardless, it looks pretty unlikely that it
: was ever a real problem. It's like a lot of other minuscule
: risks that get a bunch of media publicity, the ignorant public
: goes nuts over it, but are oblivious to the everyday dangers
: that are several orders of magnitude higher, right in front of
: their faces. They freak out over something like BPA in bottles,
: completely ignoring the fact that the crap that comes in those
: bottles (soda, energy drinks, etc.) poses much more danger to
: their kids' health than BPA in the plastic ever would.

: The bottom line is that human beings are very poor at assessing
: risks in their lives.

I very much agree, lots of knee jerk reactions to fairly minor problems.
