“BPA exposure is widespread due to extensive use of plastics and other BPA-containing products. Two related products, bisphenol-S (BPS) and bisphenol-F (BPF), are common replacements for BPA, and some evidence suggests that their use may carry similar risks.”

“In the randomized trial, the clearest reductions compared to controls appeared in the groups that received food with minimized plastic contact. Food with minimized plastic contact alone lowered two phthalate markers by about 32% and 47%, and total bisphenols by 59%.”

“FTA: > When scientists exposed pregnant mice to levels of bisphenol A equivalent to those considered safe in humans, three generations of female mouse offspring experienced significant reproductive problems, including declines in fertility, sexual maturity and pregnancy success.”

“"Bisphenol a: an emerging threat to male fertility". Reprod Biol Endocrinol. 2019 Cardiovascular disease There’s growing evidence that microplastics and their associated chemicals—like BPA and phthalates— also have significant impacts on the heart and blood vessels.”

“PlasticList.org is a project that assesses the presence of plastic-related chemicals, such as phthalates and bisphenols, in food products, emphasizing the health risks associated with these substances.”

“The researchers also state that it is difficult to determine how these levels compare to the levels of human exposure. In their controlled experiments they used low doses of BPS and other replacement bisphenols that they thought to be relevant to exposure in people using BPA-free plastics.”

“Many food-contact chemicals include bisphenol A, phthalates, and other toxic substances that promote cancer, impair fertility, and disrupt hormone signaling. Although many of these compounds accumulate in the body over time, some are preferentially excreted in sweat.”

“Once inside the cells, they promote cell migration, potentially enhancing the spread of cancer. Some harmful effects of microplastics may be due to compounds commonly used in plastic manufacturing, such as bisphenol A, phthalates, and heavy metals.”

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

“Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used during the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. BPA is classified as an endocrine disruptor because it can mimic naturally-occurring hormones in the body such as estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones, potentially altering normal hormonal signals.”
