60 minutes - BPA

Last night, 60 Minutes discussed the issue of BPA and the lack of action by our authorities - Food Standards Australia - in addressing the issue despite its ban in other countries. Their explanation was that the science was not conclusive - jeepers the amount of evidence to show it is not safe has been steadily amassing for almost a decade now! It was a shame that they didnt mention that its also lining many of our food tins! How long will we allow our children to be the canaries in the mines?

About Nicole Bijlsma

I am a building biologist which in short means I conduct audits of people’s homes to see if they are affecting their health. Previously I worked for 15 years as a naturopath and acupuncturist and lectured extensively at various institutions before realising the extent to which the home was causing illness in many of my patients. I am the founder of the Australian College of Environmental Studies and author of Healthy Home Healthy Family. In my blog, we’ll explore issues relating to hazards in the home.
