Health Effects
The use of Biphenol A is used especially in the production of hard plastic wares, in particular, baby items, such as bottles and pacifiers. Exposure to plastics containing BPA, especially products that are intended to be heated, are proven to have adverse side-effects. BPA has been linked to the following conditions:
- Obesity
- Breast Cancer
- Neurological issues
- Disruption of dopaminergic system
- Thyroid complications
If you or someone you love is experiencing any of the above health problems, talk to your doctor about the possibility of Bisphenol A exposure being the cause.
