BPA was banned, so they tweaked it into BPB, BPS, BPF, and BPAF, etc... it's a game of whack-a-mole. They're all terrible for us.



Sure, but most plastics aren't made with any kind of bisphenol related compounds at all.


They are added afterwards as additives, to improve mechanical properties of plastics, even those that don't use BP(X) as feedstock for synthesis.


I have some experience in plastic molding and I'm not sure what you mean. They're either part of the feedstock or not.


The person you’re exchanging with is an ideologue.
