I think you need more detales in your article. Also, because I'm twelve it does not make much senice. I hope that helps you improve.

Look at all the details in the report...

Mr. Brakett's letter could be deamed as misleading. After a quick online search I found interesting details in the report that didn't appear to me as being negligible. Please note the following: "The panel notes "some" concern that exposure to bisphenol A causes neural and behavioral effects in fetuses, infants, and children." For further reference, please read: "Jury Still Out on BPA/Plastics Risk" and "Plastic Chemical Safety Weighed" which can be found on WebMD. Has anyone ever considered that this could be a link to the staggering increase in autism?

Also, check these stats out at the Autism Society of America's website:

Growth comparison during the 1990s(3):

U.S. population increase: 13%

Disabilities increase: 16%

Autism increase: 172%
