TOXIC PLASTIC 



Nov 2009

BPA is used in a wide variety of consumer products, including some hard plastic bottles and metal food or beverage cans. Several makers of baby bottles recently said they had stopped using the chemical. Some 90 percent of the U.S. population carries detectable levels in the urine.

Scientists are concerned that BPA exposure might harm the reproductive and nervous systems, and possibly promote prostate and breast cancers. Last year, a preliminary study linked BPA to possible risks for heart disease and diabetes.

BPA is used in hard plastic bottles, etc. BPA exposure has been linked to reproductive and nervous system problems, prostate and breast cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and most recently to sex problems (i.e., trouble achieving erections, difficulty ejaculating, low sex drive, low satisfaction with sex).

The legality of BPA is questioned by FDA's scientific advisers so the FDA is reviewing its stance that trace amounts of BPA that leach out of bottles and food containers are not dangerous and the US government has recently announced new funding for BPA research. Already 90% of the US population show BPA in their urines.

#1 It’s Making Us Sick - Plastics Are Toxic

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET #1 plastic) is used for single serve plastic water bottles.

This type of water bottle has been approved for one-time use only. It has become common practice for many people to unknowingly re-use these plastic bottles. Studies show that bacteria easily breeds in PET plastic bottles when re-used and that re-use may cause DEHA, a carcinogen, to migrate from the plastic into water contained in the bottle. A new 2006 study revealed that significant levels of antimony, a toxic chemical, leaches into water sold in PET plastic bottles. Learn more

Bisphenal-A is a toxic compound found in polycarbonate (#7 plastic), the rigid, translucent, hard plastic used in Nalgene water bottles and many baby bottles. It is a hormone disruptor that mimics estrogen and is linked to early-onset puberty, declining sperm counts, obesity and the huge increase in breast and prostate cancer. Due to the alarming toxicity of this chemical, in March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was filed in Los Angeles against five leading manufacturers of baby bottles containing Bisphenal-A.
