Seems we all know someone these days who has had fertility issues. You may be struggling with some unresolved hormonal issues yourself... Could BPA be the cause?⁣
⁣
So what is BPA and where is it found?⁣
⁣
BPA (bisphenol A) is the most famous toxic chemical used in the production of plastics. Its use is widespread and has been around since the 1960s. Often used in food storage, including plastic packaging, kitchenware, and the inner coatings of cans and jar caps. ⁣
Studies show that BPA interacts with estrogen receptors and plays a role in several endocrine disorders, including female and male infertility, early puberty, breast and prostate cancer, and polycystic o***y syndrome (PCOS). ⁣
⁣
The bad news is that studies are showing that its replacement BPS, another chemical in the Bisphenol family, may be toxic as well, showing some of the same hormone-disrupting effects as BPA!⁣

Guess what’s up next in the Plastic Facts series... @ Austin, Texas

Forever is a long time.
