The truth comes out: Even low doses of BPA can damage your reproductive health and nervous system

Thursday, August 11, 2016 by: Daniel Barker

From a university press release accompanying the study:

The results show that particularly low doses of bisphenol A affect the development of the animals. The female rats that were exposed to the lowest dose weighed more as adults, and their behaviour had changed in a direction that resembled male behaviour. This could indicate masculinization of the females' brains. Male rats that were exposed to the lowest dose had increased growth of mammary gland tissue, and decreased sperm count as adults.

These effects were not observed at the higher bisphenol A doses.

Mammary gland changes that could be indicative of an early stage of breast cancer were observed in aging rats exposed to the second lowest dose of bisphenol A.

The results support previous studies, which show that particularly low doses of bisphenol A can affect the animals' development, while higher doses have different effects.


Numerous serious health risks associated with BPA
Previous studies have linked bisphenol A to obesity, breast cancer, infertility in both males and females, early puberty, heart disease and nervous system damage. BPA disrupts the endocrine system, mimicking the hormone estrogen.

From EcoWatch.com:

Endocrine disruptors are the link between human health hazards and plastic. ... In the human body, endocrine disruptors mimic the actions of the hormone estrogen. They upset the hormonal balance and can stimulate the growth of tumors in the breast, uterus or prostate. They can affect fertility, pregnancy, and worse, can affect the fetus by interfering with testosterone, disrupting normal sexual development. This disruption is not often apparent until adulthood and includes the increased risk of cancer.


The EPA has done little to address the issue. It briefly considered a ban in 2012, but the only real action the agency has taken was to ban its use in baby products – two of every three canned goods still contain BPA in their linings.
