Sometimes items make it to the market and are presumed safe...that is until years later and countless people have been harmed and it finally comes out that the product was causing damage from day one. A lot of savvy people have been onto the problem with the chemical biphesnol A, called BPA (used in plastics) for a long time. Like most things, at first we're told we are crazy. It's only after a preponderance of evidence surfaces that we are proven right.
Kaiser Permanente's recently concluded a 5 year study of over 600 Chinese farm workers who had been very contaminated with BPA. They found that it causes male sexual dysfunction such as erectile and premature ejaculation issues. Frankly the study itself sounds unethical, but the conditions that lead to these men being exposed to this chemical were not mentioned.
Animal studies have proven much worse problems associated with this chemical, such as serious chronic health problems, the inability to think or behave normally, reproductive and cardiovascular system damage, diabetes, various forms of cancer, obesity and asthma.
Why are we still using this chemical in plastics? Maybe it's all part of the agenda, after all, we have the studies and we have the results, but still, we have the chemicals in everything we touch.
