Posted Sun Oct 12 2008: from Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:
Donation raises questions for head of FDA's bisphenol A panel http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1223828047
A retired medical supply manufacturer who considers bisphenol A to be "perfectly safe" gave $5 million to the research center of Martin Philbert, chairman of the Food and Drug Association panel about to make a pivotal ruling on the chemical's safety. Philbert did not disclose the donation, which is nearly 50 times larger than the $210,000 annual budget of the University of Michigan Risk Science Center, where he is founder and co-director.
