(Mary Villareal) Cheryl Rosenfeld, a professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri, and her colleagues proposed that more attention should be given to the temporary organ that affects fetal brain development. This is due to the study that found direct transmission of bisphenol A (BPA) through the placenta could negatively impact the brain development of babies.

Study finds BPA Levels in Humans Dramatically Underestimated
(Neuroscience News) Researchers have developed a more accurate method of measuring bisphenol A (BPA) levels in humans and found that exposure to the endocrine-disrupting chemical is far higher than previously assumed.
Mouse Study Finds Bpa Exposure Has Transgenerational Effects on Gene Linked to Autism
(Neuroscience News)Exposure to BPA appears to have a transgenerational effect on autism risk. Mice whose great grandmothers were exposed to BPA during pregnancy exhibited social behavioral deficits associated with ASD.
Mouse Study Finds Bpa Exposure Has Transgenerational Effects on Gene Linked to Autism
(Neuroscience News) Transgenerational bisphenol A (BPA) exposure may contribute to autism, according to a mouse study published in the Endocrine Society’s journal Endocrinology.
BPA Replacement Chemicals Found to Disrupt Hormones, Much like BPA
(Russel Davis) Bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic chemical widely used in manufacturing plastic products, has long been associated with a host of adverse health conditions. BPA is classified as an endocrine disruptor and is tied to various diseases including diabetes, cardiovascular disease and abnormal liver function. Experts have looked into using chemical substitutes such as Fluorene-9-bisphenol (BHPF) in hopes of minimizing BPA exposure, but such a move proves to be futile according to new research.
BPA Free May Not Mean Safe – Researchers Link Alternatives to Bisphenols to Reproductive Abnormalities
(Anna Hunt) It’s common knowledge, these days, that the plastic ingredient bisphenol A, or BPA, can be harmful to your health. Although we don’t technically consume plastic, BPA present in food packaging can leach into our food and water. When consumed in trace amounts, it can affect hormone production, disrupt the endocrine system, and even lead to infertility.
Most Bottled Water Contaminated With Microplastics
(Dr. Mercola) Plastic has become an incredibly harmful convenience, now threatening environmental and human health alike, and in more ways than one. With Earth Day being tomorrow, there is no better time to analyze the impact bottled water has had on our planet. There’s the issue of bulk plastics in our landfills, where it will remain indefinitely since most plastic does not biodegrade,1 and microplastics — microscopic pieces of degraded plastic — which now choke waterways across the globe and contaminate drinking water and sea life.
BPA, found in plastic water bottles, linked to abnormal brain development in fetuses … Mothers BEWARE
(Tracey Watson) For some time now, mothers have been made aware of the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used in many types of containers, including baby bottles. BPA is used to harden plastics, prevent contamination of foods, and stop cans from rusting. In recent years, several studies have confirmed that BPA affects endocrine function (hormonal balance) in animals and humans, and new moms have been warned to avoid baby bottles that contain this chemical and to take other steps like not boiling polycarbonate bottles or heating them in the microwave.
BPA May Be the Cause of the ADHD Epidemic: Scientists Link the Plastics Chemical to the Condition
(Ethan Huff ) Health experts have been digging through the data trying to figure out why so many children these days are suffering from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, and they just may have stumbled upon one of the biggest culprits: the plastics chemical bisphenol-A (BPA).
Gender-Confused: Shocking Study Reveals 86% of Teenagers’ Bodies Contaminated with Gender-Bending Chemicals from Plastics
(Tracey Watson) A few years ago, a lot of attention was focused on the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA), an organic synthetic compound found in plastic. Mothers with babies were especially cautioned to ensure that their baby bottles did not contain BPA.
