Plastic Bottles, BPA, and Your Health
Higher levels of Bisphenol A – or BPA – a chemical compound used in some plastic packaging for food and beverages, are associated with cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and liver-enzyme abnormalities.
That’s according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Bill Toscano, an environmental health professor at the University of Minnesota, recommends avoiding plastic bottles that contain BPA. That’s easier said than done, he says. Worldwide production of BPA exceeds 7 billion pounds.
