Do you guys avoid BPA? Some recent studies have concluded it's safer than we previously thought, but other scientists say those studies are flawed because they don't account for things like brain development.

The FDA says the amount of BPA allowed in foods is safe, but then WebMD says:
Hm, yeah. I think I'll play it safe and try to avoid BPA.What does BPA do to us? We still don't really know, since we don't have definitive studies of its effects in people yet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration used to say that BPA was safe. But in 2010 the agency altered its position. The FDA maintains that studies using standardized toxicity tests have shown BPA to be safe at the current low levels of human exposure. But based on other evidence -- largely from animal studies -- the FDA expressed "some concern" about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate glands in fetuses, infants, and young children.
What do you guys think? Are there other toxins you try to avoid?
