Avoid These Popular Plastic Bottles Full Of BPA | Healthy Debates. Global Activism is Taking Down the Toxic Food Industry. The foundation of the international food industry, monopolized by large corporations that hold zero regard for your health, is cracking. As more and more individuals begin to realize that they are eating their way to disease through the consumption of these products, they become outraged at the companies peddling their latest toxic food product. The result? Companies are now being forced to either answer to the consumer demands (removing the toxic substances from the food supply and adapting legitimate environmental manufacturing practices) , or lose their customers.
Increasingly, we see this happening on a larger scale. Major companies like Campbell’s have begun abandoning bisphenol A (BPA), the cancer-linked chemical found in can linings and plastic containers. On a larger scale, corporations are also being forced to remove high-fructose corn syrup. Activism and education is making legitimate changes in the way that the world eats and thinks. Spread the word. Study: Paper Money Contains Traces of BPA. Researchers Say the Chemical Gets Into Money From Contact With Cash Register Receipts Aug. 12, 2011 -- Paper money may contain trace levels of bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical found in some plastics and other consumer products, a study shows.
But only small amounts of BPA are absorbed through our skin when we handle the money, the study shows. The study is published in Environmental Science & Technology. BPA is considered an endocrine disruptor, which means it looks or acts like a hormone in the body. It may be associated with behavioral and reproductive issues. Young children may be particularly vulnerable to these effects. The study analyzed BPA levels in 156 forms of paper money from 21 countries. The highest amounts of BPA were found in paper money from Brazil, the Czech Republic, and Australia.
BPA levels in cash were higher than what is found in house dust. The study only looked at skin absorption of BPA from currency, but there may be other routes of exposure. How BPA Gets on Money. Parent bisphenol A accumulation in the human maternal-fetal-placental unit. Bisphenol A: What you need to know. By Liz Szabo, USA TODAY Bisphenol A, or BPA, is an estrogen-like chemical used in so many consumer products, from clear plastics and to cash register receipts, the linings of metal cans and dental sealants that more than 90% of Americans — including pregnant women — have it in their bodies.
The chemical is at the heart of worldwide scientific investigation and a debate over whether it is harmful to the very young. Q: What does science say? A: Research on BPA is still relatively new, and most studies so far have been performed in animals. Industry groups, such as the American Chemistry Council, say BPA has been safely used for more than 50 years. But a growing number of scientists, such as the University of Missouri's Frederick vom Saal, are alarmed, noting that Americans are routinely exposed to levels of BPA that cause harm in animals: •The National Toxicology Program of the U.S.
Q: What is the federal government doing? Q: What are states and local governments doing? Consumer info: Latest news: You’re Absorbing BPA From Your Receipts, Study Shows. Banned chemical coats 40% of store receipts. Bisphenol A, the controversial chemical that Canada banned from baby bottles, may be coating the sales receipt you take at a store’s cash register. In a study by a U.S. environmental group, 40 per cent of receipts collected from major U.S. retailers, supermarkets, food chains and gas stations contained BPA, known as a hormone-disrupting chemical. The total mass of the chemical found on the 36 collected receipts was 250 to 1,000 times greater than the amount of BPA typically found in a can of food or that leaches from a BPA-based plastic baby bottle, according to the report by the Environmental Working Group in Washington, D.C.
“Our point is that 60 per cent of the receipts had no BPA or very insignificant traces. This is one exposure that’s easily fixed. Retailers can easily make the transition to BPA-free paper,” says Anila Jacob, a senior scientist at EWG. Scientists are not certain how much BPA from receipts would get into the body.
National Geographic Reports – Chemicals Causing Infertility in Pigs are Present Throughout Human Consumer Goods | Liberty Blitzkrieg. Some of the same chemicals found in the pigs’ semen storage bags are routinely used in packaging food for humans and are known to migrate into food. Cyclic lactone, for instance, is a common by-product in adhesives used in potato chip bags and sliced meat packages. It was one of the chemicals found in high levels in the semen bags that had been used on the farms with the highest rates of reproductive failure. Another chemical found in high levels on those farms: a compound called BADGE, a derivative of the notorious bisphenol A (BPA). It’s the building block of epoxy resins that form the basis for 95 percent of food and beverage can linings in the U.S. - From the excellent and troubling article recently published by National Geographic, Infertility in Spanish Pigs Has Been Traced to Plastics.
A Warning for Humans? One of Liberty Blitzkrieg’s primary themes in 2013 was “food fraud.” Unfortunately, it’s not just food we have to be aware of. On some farms, all the sows stopped reproducing.
BPA exposure before birth linked to breast cancer. (NaturalNews) To many people interested in healthy living, the term BPA is nothing new. It stands for bisphenol A, an industrial chemical used in many hard plastic bottles and metal-based food and beverage cans since the 1960s. A known hormone disruptor, BPA is hard to avoid. But once you learn about its dangers, you know why it's worth the effort to look for BPA-free products. For example, NaturalNews has carried story after story about evidence that links BPA to all sorts of serious health problems from cancer, kidney and developmental problems to heart disease and diabetes ( Now there's breaking research news showing how BPA could be doing harm inside the bodies of babies even before they are born.
A recent study conducted by scientists at the Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research found that exposure in the womb to the kinds of BPA doses that are widespread in the environment alters long-term hormone response in females. Eliminate and reverse BPA toxicity. (NaturalNews) There have been several obscure studies performed and written up that have discovered natural nutrients that fight BPA toxicity. Bisphenol-A (BPA) has become epidemic in our plastic reliant society.
It not only affects our current population, but there is also evidence that it is passed on to newborns as well. In the USA, Big Brother refuses to fix this. We have to become educated, limit our use of plastics and other BPA products personally. Then, take advantage of the accessible nutrients that restrict BPA damage.BPA is an endocrine disrupter. It is used in most plastic bottles, the inner linings of beverage and food cans, inks for store receipts, printers and paper money, and some cosmetics and clothing apparel.
This was a cross sectional study limited to under 3000 tested. However, several scientists and health professionals have discovered and confirmed BPA's health hazards over the past decade. Avoid all the items listed above as much as possible.
