Gender bending chemicals in plastics 'raises risk of prostate cancer'

Scientists have recently discovered that a certian chemical found in the plastic of babies' bottles could be showing the risk of obtaining prostate cancer, by testing on newborn rats. When the reserchers fed the baby rodents bisphenol A, a basic building block used in making plastic, they showed no signs of cancerous tumors or cells as they aged. They have found that these tests are directly relevant to that of a babies' health.

I believe that these tests are very important towards the welfare of babies' health. Scientist should always test things that are an imediete risk to a human's health, even if it has not been proved to be harmful.
