I outlined the beginning of a very rudimentary process used by researchers to locate data for meta-analysis and systematic reviews. Good reviews employ teams of people with different specialties beyond my own skills. It can take months and thousands of dollars. When I query a topic, I'm hoping to find a Cochrane review or similar. Perhaps the German panel performed a systematic review as part of their policy making. If they used internationally accepted standards for consensus processes, then I will give weight to their findings. I know a lot of American researchers, though, who would discount the opinions of foreign countries. There isn't a great rationale behind this bias, but it does happen.

It is hard for one doctor to do an accurate analysis on BPA, but how about a dozen? Have you thought about outsourcing this endeavor.
