Annotation:

            This article discussed about bisphenol-A, or BPA which is component used for some plastics containers and other products. BPA has caused many concerns that this chemical has caused diseases such as cancer and obesity genes on children. Therefore, people want to ban BPA from different products such plastic bottles, baby containers, food containers and so on. However, the government health officials still cannot decide if that chemical is bad for the society. On the other hand some marketing places became “BPA Free”. Many people have been taken sides about to ban BPA or that BPA is not harmful which becomes a continuously battle.

            I think this article is helpful and with good sources, since it shows me the argument about this issue which affects our society and the two sides of it. Therefore, have sources which it shows me that what the people are really thinking and how can affect me and the rest of the people.

            This article also make me think and learn more about this issue, since I heard of it but I never sat down and research about it more. Furthermore, it made more aware what it’s happening around me and also I will try to start using plastic containers without “BPA”
