Gender-bending chemical used in plastic bottles 'doubles risk of heart disease'

Daily Mail
9/16/2008

Gender bending chemicals in food packaging, drink cans and baby
bottles may double the risk of heart disease, researchers have found.

They have shown that people with higher than normal levels of
bisphenol A (BPA) in their blood are more likely to suffer from heart
problems.

The chemical also appears to raise the risk of diabetes, the study of
nearly 1,500 people has shown.

BPA is used to make linings of food and drink cans. It is also found
in plastic bottles, CD cases, plastic knives and forks and dental
sealants.
