EWG Funds Appeal

Dear Friend,

It's unbelievable that with all that we know about
bisphenol A, Maine's Governor Paul LePage is
 justifying his opposition to banning the chemical
 from baby bottles by making a lame joke.
The Bangor Daily News quotes Gov. LePage as
 saying: "The only thing that I've heard is if you
take a plastic bottle and put it in the microwave
and you heat it up, it gives off a chemical similar
 to estrogen. So the worst case is some
 women may have little beards."
Little beards? Gov. LePage seems to have
missed the more than 200 studies linking
 this plastics component and synthetic estrogen
 to serious health problems such as prostate
 and breast cancer, infertility, early puberty
 and brain and heart disorders. He also
apparently missed the research showing
 serious and lasting changes in the brains
and bodies of fetal and newborn test animals
.EWG Action Fund plans to send Gov.
 LePage a reality check regarding information
 about the latest research on the dangers of BPA.
 Will you join us?
Click here to sign onto EWG Action Fund's reality
 check made out to Governor LePage, sending
 him the real science about BPA.
Thank you for standing with EWG Action Fund and
 putting sound science before punchlines.
Sincerely,

Ken Cook
President, EWG Action Fund
