Bisphenol A and You

Bisphenol A and You Yes, plastic. The miracle of mode science. Without plastics. . . because there are many things that do not. And the things he wants, right? Of course. We can not do without things.According a study at the University of Cincinnati, Bisphenol A - a chemical that mimics estrogen in the body - is the development of the brain at concentrations much lower than previously thought. The research team, led by Dr Scott Belcher, PhD, has shown that the effect of Bisphenol A is a maximum of 0.23 parts per trillion.I hear moaning, "Please do not lecture us about something that can kill us. Every day is something new - as we must remember what to avoid? "Be assured, dear reader, there is nothing you can do to avoid Bisphenol A.. . at least not at concentrations necessary to harm.Bisphenol A is used for the manufacture of polycarbonate plastic (used in many food containers - including children of bottles). Also used to make an epoxy resin coating in which the lines in the majority of our canned products. Also used in electrical equipment, and a myriad of other uses.Lets pause for a moment here to clarify something. Just because something is made of something different does not mean that he is none of the original materials in good finish. If the final product is much more stable chemically to the original material, there is very little likelihood that the original material is present in any detectable level.However, which is not the case of polycarbonate and epoxy resins based on bisphenol A. These products have proven to be somewhat 'unstable, which can lead to a break in Bisphenol A, which can lead to subsequent exposure.Previous human research (for an organization pro-Bisphenol A, no less) has shown that' Typical daily exposure to Bisphenol A, the average person is about 20-30 nanograms per kilogram of body weight. Thats about 20-30 parts per trillion, in other words - 100 times the amount needed for the development of brain damage. "So, what to do? How to kill? How can I avoid this horrible fate? "First, it does not kill. Although there are many other reports of the years that have linked Bisphenol A to breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, you need to ingest more Bisphenol A for this purpose. As more parts per million by fact.However, Bisphenol A has its greatest impact at low dose of 0.23 parts per billion on the brain in the developing world. It affects the brain "seems" that the estrogen in the body. This can block the normal functioning of the female hormone estrogen, which research has proved to be decisive in certain phases of human development in the fetus. It is not clear which inhibits the action of estrogen on the person will life.As after a former chemical used to work with inks and paints, so that Bisphenol A is very easy to do. It has been used for decades, and there are a large number of Bisphenol A bank resources to help make chemical. I also know that there are many other materials that can be used which are much more secure, not more expensive than its bis-AI difficult to keep straight what is really dangerous and what is not. A large number of people who have been absorbed from aspartame deception, for example, and all have the best intentions. However, bisphenol A is a known carcinogen, a known sensitizer, and is now a possbile teratagen. We also know that it is not necessary that the use of bisphenol A, because there are other, safer materials that can replace it. So why not? I'm not sure, but I bet that has something to do with money.Terry Connors is a Gen-X family with 2 children and wife of a lover.
