If there is one certainty that greeted publication of an Environmental Protection Agency-funded study showing that bisphenol A (BPA) was below the level of detection in people fed a high BPA diet, it was that University of Missouri biologist, Dr. Frederick vom Saal, the scientist who first ignited the global panic on BPA, would, sooner or later, denounce it as astoundingly flawed and influenced by industry research.
