Recently, the abundance of plastic wasn't a pressing health concern despite being on our environment. Now, a growing studies and research links the chemicals Bisphenol-A (BPA), the main component of polycarbonate plastics, commonly found in a variety of consumer products such as water bottles, baby bottles, food storage containers and other items like contact lenses and CD's and electronic devices. It was also found out that it is a protective linings of tin cans and dental sealants.

The great risk of this chemical are:
-certain cancers ( breast and prostate cancer)
-type 2 diabetes
-birth defects
-neurological behavior problems
-early onset of puberty in girls
-reduced fertility
-obesity

So, what are gonna do now? ..There are suggested managements to follow..
Let's be aware of it and don't risk ourselves especially the babies and to be born fetus..

thats an important news. peopel are being warned over and over again but people keep using the plastic bags and bottles. especially eevrybody have the habit of using the coke or pepsi bottles for cooling water in refrigerators. i have raead that these bottles develop poisonous cehmicals after a while and need to be disposed off. they neeed to be recycled before using again.
there are bottles like pet bottles sold esp for stroing or carying water or liquids. we need to use those to avoid such bad situations.

People have been using these products for years with no consequences. Perhaps this chemical is only dangerous in extremely large doses.

I have heard of this before. I never refill an empty bottle of mineral water again. Once I'm done with it, I just throw it away. Thanks for sharing so the information will circulate.

Hello my friend norman7 Ji,
Very well started and very much useful informative post. But it is a big question, how to avoid in present day of life. But I was not aware of so many diseases. Thanks. Let's plan to reduce its use slowly. Now, some soluable plastic is in offering, but that also will not overcome these disreases mentioned by you. Have a nice time.thumbup

Yes, I drink water from plastic bottles, and I too am aware that is it not good for our health, but I really could not help it. Actually, what is very much dangerous is drinking water from used plastic bottles, like using it as water storage in the refrigerator instead of pitchers or tumblers. It is because plastic bottles are made of chemicals, that in turn may dilute together with our drinking water. And of course, will affect our health. And I just want to add up something, if you want know how many times you have refilled your bottle with water, look at the number at the bottom of the bottle.

I agree, that prevention is still better than cure. :)

Thanks and have a nice day ahead of you.
