U.S. Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR), had a panel examine whether exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) presents a risk to human development and reproduction. This week they unanimously concluded that there is some risk. Some concerns such as effects on reproduction in adult humans were said to have negligible risk.

BPA can be present in very low concentrations in water and drinks that are contained in plastic bottles.

I expect that progressive states like California will soon require some type of warning on bottles. This will have some effect on consumer choices.
