Yet another study demonstrates this. EnvironmentalHealthNews.org reported this month on a study published recently in the journal Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology. In this study, human placenta cells from five new mothers were cultured in a laboratory, and BPA was added in a variety of doses found in the blood of pregnant women and fetuses. The doses ranged from .002 to 200 micrograms per milliliter. The placenta cells were exposed to the BPA at these levels for 24 hours and then examined for damage.

Significant damage was found. Three types of damage were measured; all were significantly higher than the control. But one type of  damage measured much higher at the lower dose of BPA, a particularly troubling finding. EnvironmentalHealthNews.org concludes that BPA can disrupt the placenta enough to affect the growth of the fetus.

BPA is found not only in bottled water bottles, but in tin can liners, dental sealants, and a variety of products. Nearly all Americans have BPA in their blood; children have higher levels than adults.

One way to help protect your family from BPA is to use a home water filter such as Multi-Pure’s, the best on the market. Put your purer, cleaner water in stainless steel bottles to take with you.

On the USA Today BPA page, Frederick Vom Saal, a professor at the University of Missouri-Columbia, speaks on an audio recording.  While the BPA concentrations used are low, he says, “this is a phenomenally potent chemical.”  BPA has been linked with cancer and with late puberty in boys, early puberty in girls. The FDA has maintained that it thinks it is safe, but is currently reviewing its position, in the face of growing outcry.

If you want to keep your family safe from this chemical, don’t buy bottled water or soda. Instead, get the safest water source: a home water filter. Multi-Pure’s home water filter is the best triple-carbon filter on the market. It is certified to remove the most toxins, while allowing the healthful minerals we need, like calcium, to remain in the water. It’s durable. It has the best warranty on the market, too: 90 days satisfaction, and lifetime warranty on the housing.  Shouldn’t you take a look?

The study, released by Human Reproduction on Nov. 10, builds on animal studies that suggest BPA in food containers such as bottled water and soda bottles is an endocrine disrupter.

In the study, investigators interviewed male workers in China who had been exposed to extremely high levels of BPA, 50 times higher than the average person. They discovered significantly higher risk of sexual dysfunction in the workers.

Whether this study is significant because of the high exposure level remains to be seen. In the meantime, the FDA is re-evaluating its prior judgment that BPA is safe to use in food containers such as bottles and as tin can liners. The FDA is expected to announce its determination at the end of the month.

The Environmental Working Group, which advocates for clean water and other topics, announced it is troubled by the study’s results because it indicates BPA affects not only children, but adults.

If you are troubled about chemicals in plastics, you should definitely stop drinking bottled water and get yourself a great high-quality home water filter to protect your family. Multi-Pure home water filters are the best in the business.
