General Information

B.P.A. is commonly used in plastic water, baby bottles, food and beverage can linings, and dental sealants.

Developmental biologist at the University of Missouri, Dr. Frederick vom Saal, found that B.P.A. mimics naturally occurring estrogen. “These hormones control the development of the brain, the reproductive system and many other systems in the developing fetus,” said vom Saal.

Some critics have concluded that exposure to B.P.A. poisoning increases the risk of the womb to certain cancers, impede on fertility, and may contribute to childhood behavioral problems such as hyperactivity.
