THE FOOD AND ,DRINK INDUSTRY is at pains to tell us that we needn't
worryâ€,aboutâ€,theâ€,controversial packaging chemical, Bisphenol. Tests on laboratory animals have already put it in the frame as an endocrine disrupter, or "gender bender", which could interfere with the development of children and unborn babes. To add to that scary possibility, scientists at Exeter University have now found that adults with the chemical in their urine are twice as likely than those who haven't to suffer from heart disease, diabetes and liver abnormalities. That's worrying: 90% of the population has measurable levels.
