7. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an organic compound (below) used to produce plastic polymers
such as polycarbonate plastics. When the plastics degrade, small quantities of
Bisphenol A can be released into the environment. BPA is banned from many food
plastics (such as baby bottles) as it mimics estrogen and binds to estrogenic receptors
on your cells. This targeted binding disrupts the endocrine system and perhaps causes
long-term health effects.
