Instead of looking through abstracts in PubMed, you should look at the molecular diagrams of the typical structures of estrogen and BPA. As I said before, the structures of these two compounds look nothing alike, no matter how you view them.

The same abstracts that cry alarm over alleged estrogen dependent effects want you to believe that many other POP's are also very dangerous in minuscule amounts. These analyses are promoted as scientific, but they are really designed to sell books, promote an agenda, or make grant money flow.

What was that quote again about keeping the public alarmed and clamoring to be led to safety?

I have read not just the abstracts, but dozens of pertinent medical studies and review articles, usually from leading medical journals. The lack of similarity of BPA and estrogen in chemical structure is not conclusive or even persuasive as negative evidence, and there are multiple strands of medical evidence that incriminate POPs as having adverse effects on human health.

Your suggestion that this evidence is the result of comprehensive, systematic fraud is not tenable. I recommend you go to a medical library for a few hours and read the treatises and journal articles. You need not agree with them, but at least you will have engaged the evidence.
