There was Graphene in the bottom with the BPA and FLUORIDE What is BPA used in? AGENT ORANGE 🍊😎
BPA is used in the manufacture of clear polycarbonate plastic, and to manufacture other plastics, including the lining inside food and drink cans.
Products often made with bisphenol A include:
Bottles in water dispensers
Plastic tableware
Dental fillings
Lenses for glasses
Plastic sheeting for glazing
How are we exposed to BPA?
We are mainly exposed to BPA via ingestion. BPA may leach into food from polycarbonate plastic packaging and from food and drink can linings.
Exposure may also arise from BPA-related materials used in dental sealant, clothing and other consumer goods. House dust may also be an exposure source.
Babies and toddlers can be particularly exposed to BPA due to their tendency to put products in their mouth and because BPA is used in some products for children, for example, some toys and baby clothes. This is a concern because in comparison to adults, babies and toddlers are particularly sensitive to the effects of endocrine disrupting chemicals, which, for example, may impact brain development.
What does BPA do to our bodies?
BPA is able to de-rail the chemical messenger system in the body by mimicking or disrupting oestrogen and other hormones. In fact, BPA was first found to be able mimic oestrogen, the female hormone, back in the 1930s.
The health effects linked with exposure to BPA include: breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometriosis, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, altered immune system and effects on reproduction, brain development and behaviour, including behaviour in children. See page 53 of the HBM4EU Newsletter for more information on the health impacts of BPA.
