Any dentist worth his salt (or sugar) can tell you the age old joke that reads something like, "ignore your teeth and they'll go away." However, the same cannot be said for NFI: February 1, 2010 Bill Felling National News Editor CBS News VIA Email Dear Mr. Felling,

It would appear CBS News has gone into full hunker mode. You know the type deny, deny, deny. Well, we've got some legitimate questions that we want the Black Rock folks to answer and we're going to keep asking them. Have a look at their latest letter to us and our response:   Gavin Gibbons National Fisheries Institute Dear Mr. Gibbons:

Ever since last Friday's statement from the U.S. FDA concerning the alleged health effects of Bisphenol A, activists have been engaging in a full court press on the issue even in the face of the fact that FDA stated that it didn't have sufficient evidence to ban the use of the chemical.

This morning, as feared, we are seeing the erroneous parts of Kelly Wallace's CBS News report on BPA recycled as fact on the internet. With evidence of that disturbing trend in hand I reached out to CBS again this morning.

Yesterday CBS's Early Show reported on the latest FDA interest in Bisphenol A, better known as BPA. This time they were talking about BPA in canned food. As part of their story reporter Kelly Wallace chose to embark on a non-scientific "experiment" that was more than a little off base. In fact it was down right misleading. So, we reached out to the folks who are in charge of editorial oversight at the Tiffany Network. Our letter is below: January 19, 2010 Bill Felling
