I was already happy to see here in Switzerland pharmacies selling baby bottles “not containing BPA”. With this new article discussed on Nature I am even more satisfied to see that BPA possible danger is coming into fashion also for the big public.
A preliminary study possibly links diabetes and heart attack to BPA presence in human blood. BPA comes from food packages made of plastic, so virtually everybody can have high percentage of it in his/her body.
“The researchers compared BPA levels to responses on the health questionnaire. When the data were divided into four equally sized groups based on BPA concentration, those in the group with the highest concentration were three times more likely to have cardiovascular disease and 2.4 times more likely to have diabetes than those in the group with the lowest concentration”. This doesn’t make a DIRECT link between BPA and diseases, but it rings a bell saying: caution, MAYBE BPA really harms human health (animal health is for sure harmed, as many other studies showed!).
Make the intelligent decision: avoid plastic food packages, especially for food that could be heated or left at hot temperature during the transport (like beverages, for example).
