Regarding "A Ban on Estrogenics?"[1]
we must be wary also about a possible cancer risk from long-term exposure to bisphenol A (BP-A) and other estrogenic endocrine disruptors as well. Steroidal/non-steroidal and postmenopausal estrogens and diethylstilbestrol (DES) as examples at low doses are long-known human carcinogens.[2]
In 1980, the National Toxicology Program in public session reported on the carcinogenicity of BP-A.[3]
With renewed emphasis on endocrine disruptors,[4]
we decided our bioassay findings should be made more widely available.[5]
