Chemical In Plastic Products May Be Linked To Heart Disease Risk

A new study has found that the chemical bisphenol A (BPA), which is commonly found in plastic products, may increase your risk for developing heart disease.
Researchers in the United Kingdom (U.K.) analyzed data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that studied BPA exposure in Americans between the years 2003 and 2006.
They found that those with the highest BPA levels had a significantly higher risk of heart disease than those with lower levels of the chemical in their bodies.
"The risks associated with exposure to BPA may be small, but they are relevant to very large numbers of people," said study collaborator Tamara Galloway, Ph.D. "This information is important since it provides a great opportunity for intervention to reduce the risks."
Animal studies have suggested that the chemical can negatively affect health and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting a safety assessment of BPA that is scheduled for release in the near future.
BPA can be detected in 90 percent of all Americans. It is one of the world’s most heavily produced chemicals and can be found in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes, epoxy resins that line food cans, food packaging and drink containers.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences recommends reducing exposure to the chemical by reducing the use of canned foods and avoiding microwaving polycarbonate plastic food storage containers, as well as by storing foods in glass, stainless steel or porcelain containers rather than plastic.
