Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic chemical commonly found in plastic products and is released as the products degrade, and is then taken in by humans. Research from the University of California shows that 90% of Americans show BPA levels, and associations have been reported between the presence of BPA and adverse health effects, such as cancer, neurological disorders, physiological defects, and possibly child obesity. Once in the body, BPA is metabolized, and the metabolites created from the process bond to estrogen receptors. This disruption of estrogen in the body can lead to development of health defects.
