The evidence is mounting up that BPA -- an estrogenic chemical used in some plastics -- poses a serious risk to human health. Women working around food packaging and other BPA-laden products are five times more likely to develop breast cancer, and the chemical is also linked to infertility and reproductive abnormalities.

The FDA has already banned BPA from children’s products, the President’s own Cancer Panel has identified it as a serious risk to health, and many of the major food packaging corporations have dropped it from their products. But Coca-Cola, the largest drink company in the world, still exposes its customers to BPA by insisting on keeping it in its packaging.

When massive corporations like Coca-Cola use BPA in food packaging, even in small amounts, it transfers into our food and accumulates in our bodies. 90% of people test positive for BPA. Numerous public health and cancer advocacy organizations have all called for a ban on BPA.

Multinational corporations like Coca-Cola sell their products to billions of people annually, and Coke expose hundreds of millions of children to levels of BPA that their developing livers are unable to effectively process. Coca-Cola is concerned with its bottom line, so it will only act out once its customers demand it. This is why Nestle, Kraft, and other major food packaging companies are removing BPA from their products. If we call out Coke today, we can show the company that eliminating BPA is the right move for a healthier world. Please join with us to tell Coke to ditch BPA today.
