Media fearmongering is the real threat
What was the point of Thursday’s Business section story about Deep Rock pulling plastic jugs? Was it about how conscientious Deep Rock is about our health, even though their business decision was based on a public alarmed by bogus science? Or was it to inflame the public about how the chemical bisphenol A might cause health problems?
The test that said BPA, oozing from plastics, causes health problems came from a single test done on 14 mice after their mothers were fed BPA for seven days during pregnancy. Numerous other BPA tests involving at least 600 mice do not show any dangers to human health.
It was either a clever ploy for free advertisement by Deep Rock or an effort by the Rocky Mountain News to scare the public, especially if one did not read past the fifth paragraph.
The real danger to humans is the reckless reporting on science and the poor decisions that follow after the public is falsely convinced there is a danger.

Darn! You're catching on!there's no telling where this will lead, especially once the readership discovers that the media manufactured the "islamofascist" threat,
helped hype the false intelligence that the government used to justify invading Iraq, and now, the false intelligence being manufactured to give the governmant an excuse to bomb Iran.
I sure like them plastic jugs the babes at Shotgun Willies have.
