Plastic tank ingredient bisphenol A may be related to heart disease diabetes

A British survey found that bisphenol A, a chemical contained in plastic jars and baby bottles, may be linked to heart disease and diabetes.

The University of Exeter, UK research team analyzed the urine samples and blood of 1455 American adults aged 18 to 74 years. They have published their own research report in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

They found that those with 25% of the highest levels of bisphenol A in their body had twice the risk of heart disease or diabetes compared with those with the lowest 25% of bisphenol A.

However, Entrege of the US Chemical Industry Committee’s “Chemical Committee” believes that the design of the University of Exeter is unique in its design, and one cannot conclude from this that BPA can cause heart disease and diabetes. He said: "The authors of the report also pointed out that further research is needed."

A team of external experts from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing the bisphenol A safety draft report released last month, and they will hear the bisphenol A's arguments for health this Tuesday.

According to Myers of the University of Missouri, Sal and the Environmental Health Science Organization, “This study should prompt the U.S. authorities to adopt measures similar to the Canadian government’s announcement that BPA is a 'toxic chemical' and take action to limit public exposure and Limiting bisphenol A into the environment."

Bisphenol A is widely used in the manufacture of baby bottles, plastic water bottles and cutlery, as well as sports and medical supplies.

The British research team said that they found that more than 90% of respondents had bisphenol A in their bodies, indicating that it has been difficult to avoid this chemical.
