Something more to worry about. The Canadian federal government has made up a list of about 200 chemicals that industry will have to prove are safe. One of them is bisphenol A, a chemical commonly used to coat plastic bottles and pop cans.

I'm wondering how industry can prove chemicals are 'safe'. Wouldn't they have to do it by showing they don't cause cancer or other diseases? And isn't it impossible to prove a negative? It seems to me this might be an impossible task to give industry. Perhaps that's why the government doesn't want to do it.

More worrisome is teh use of artificial sweetners in soda: aspartame and its derivatives like splenda. These have been proven to be neurotoxins, yet they have not been removed.
