“High levels of urinary BPA are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Bisphenol A bioaccumulates primarily in adipose tissue in humans, but some evidence indicates that it is excreted via sweat and, to a lesser degree, urine.”

“Some of these health effects may be due to compounds commonly used in plastic manufacturing, such as bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and heavy metals that are present in and on microplastics.”

“Plastic-associated chemicals can also migrate from food packaging. In a randomized crossover study, consuming canned soup for five days produced a large, temporary increase in urinary bisphenol A compared with freshly prepared soup.”

“BPS has been used as a substitute for BPA in plastics but this data suggests BPS may not be a good substitute.”

“A wide array of toxicants, including heavy metals, such as cadmium and mercury; bisphenol A; polychlorinated biphenyls; and phthalate compounds, bioaccumulate in the human body. An individual's toxic burden may contribute to their poor metabolic function, inflammation, and cognitive dysfunction.”

“A separate study found brominated flame retardants in some black plastic kitchen utensils made with recycled electronic waste and measured transfer into hot cooking oil. Thermal paper receipts can also transfer bisphenols through the skin.”

“A systematic review found that temperature, fat, acidity, contact time, and material composition can affect the migration of bisphenols and phthalates, supporting the use of glass or stainless steel for hot, oily, or acidic foods when practical.”

“The spheres (200 mg/L) degraded 90% of BPA in an hour and are large enough to be recovered from the water.”
