I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard a lot about Bisphenol-A, or BPA, if you\u2019ve paid attention during the past year. It\u2019s been getting a lot of press for good reason.<\/p>\n
BPA is an estrogen-mimicking chemical<\/a>, invented nearly 120 years ago, that is used to make hard plastics and epoxy resins. It can be found in numerous products that most people use on a daily basis, including baby bottles, canned foods, water bottles, and microwaveable plastic dishes and containers.<\/p>\n
The Environmental Working Group has published an interesting review of BPA<\/a>, showing the timeline of BPA\u2019s use over the years. It offers a glimpse of the reality behind nearly all chemical dangers, showing just how long it can take to get something dangerous off the market, despite the evidence of harm.<\/p>\n
Industry uses more than 6 billion pounds of BPA a year. As a result, scientists have found that 95 percent<\/strong> of people tested have dangerous levels of BPA in their bodies.<\/p>\n
This is one valid reason why you should not tolerate the suggestion that \u201ctrace amounts\u201d of toxins are okay.<\/p>\n
