Endocrine Disruptors: Bisphenol A

Bisphenol A in Computer Casings
The endocrine disrupting properties of bisphenol A was an incidental discovery. Again a group of scientists discovered an estrogenic response in an experiment where there should have been none. They found that they could get a significant estrogenic response in water sterilized under pressure in polycarbonate flasks.

They soon realized that something in the flasks themselves was leaching into the water inducing the response. That something was the commonly used synthetic chemical bisphenol A.

Bisphenol A is Everywhere
Bisphenol A is a biphenolic compound that has a similar structure to the synthetic chemical DES. However, bisphenol A is a much weaker version of DES been about 1000-2000 fold less potent than natural estrogen.

Bisphenol A is used primarily to make polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a very tough, rigid plastic that is used widely to package soft drinks, water and a number of plastic covered products in the home.
It is an extremely popular substance. It is in thousands of common everyday items, from mobile phones, computer cases, DVDs and most shockingly baby feeding bottles. More evidence is been revealed about the endocrine disrupting capacity of bisphenol A, yet it continues to be used in most of our most valued and frequently used everyday products.

  1. Hello people.
    I have something to say, about aloevera, something about which you wrote above, about health and personal care… For a long time, I and my friend use the products of the flp. We many times see the fine results and also we make money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with aloe Vera in the company of forever living products has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the FLP Company and has a wife and three children). I know Aloe Vera products for skin care for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the forever living products.
    Of course, this job is not easy, but in no other case, You really can earn so much money with so much fun and good smiling faces around.
    So if you want to discuss something about your post, and about my experience with aloe vera products for skin care, I’ll always be glad to talk.

    Best regards from Washington and have a nice day!
    Andrew – Aloe Vera Distributor
