So if Bisphenol A is large enough of a problem to necessitate its banning in states like Maine, what implications does this study have on plastics on a national level?

Is it feasible to live without plastic?

Can "problems of civilization" be linked strongly to plastic exposure?

    someone here did a meta-analysis of BPA papers and basically found that no, they don't

    living without oil-derived plastics would be nice, and I guess we're going to have to figure out how to do that in the not too distant future

    Plastics come in many forms, many molecular structures, and with many different additives (or none at all).

    I think I remember seeing many products such as re-usable water bottles / thermoses advertising themselves as "BPA FREE!".
