BPAs from containers giving pause on what to drink
Are you feeling a little too full for last year’s bikini? The answer could be in the water, rather, the plastic bottled water, laden with BPAs, or bisphenol-A.
BPAs are a nasty chemical resin used to coat the inside of cans and as a component of hard clear plastic bottles. BPAs are linked to obesity, cancer and even, gender-bending.
BPAs were created to prevent spoilage. They leach their way off the inside lining of cans and plastic bottles. They enter the food and beverages they protect, from beer to beans. Leaching occurs faster, and in greater amounts, when heat is involved, like a water bottle left in the sun.
There is evidence that BPAs are among those gender-bender chemicals. Gender-benders in BPAs mimic estrogen.
Breast cancer, reproductive problems, obesity, diabetes, developmental problems, and, as the term gender-bender suggests, an unusual overdevelopment of feminine hormones resulting in feminizing boys, were all linked to BPAs. Yet, they are approved by the FDA, who all the while, supports finding alternatives to replace BPAs.
