BISPHENOLBisphenol A (BPA) is a potential health hazard is not new. For years scientists have been warning prestigious of its pernicious effect.

Not so much for its proven harmful effects, but precisely the opposite, to get that science will shake and get find much more than you know.

Why in demand more research answers that investigated so far looks really bad and does not augur well.

Therefore, until it is not scientifically demonstrated what harm can reach ingestion in a clear, It is much more difficult to make the rules which prohibit this substance exhaustively, present in a multitude of objects and containers that we use daily.

There is already a long list of disorders and diseases that have been associated with bisphenol A, not proving a causal relationship, It is found but an influence yet to be determined in most cases.

To date, studies have shown that can damage the male sex organs and reduce fertility, cause aggression and other behavioral changes, advance puberty and be related to breast cancers, prostate and uterine, besides the type associated with diabetes 2, autism, liver and cardiovascular problems.

The most recent studies advise us to be even more cautious in their use, linking consumption of water packaged in plastic bottles to increased blood pressure, according to a study of the School of Medicine of the National University of South Korea.

Although there are countries that are banning its use in different areas, as Austria, Denmark, Belgium, France and China, the most common is found with permissive laws, They do not go much beyond prohibit its use in the manufacture of plastic bottles.

In United States, for example, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA, for its acronym in English) continues to investigate, but the measures taken at the legal level are still of little entity.

At the end of 2013, the French National Assembly voted almost unanimously in favor of a law that prohibited materials for food use, becoming the first European country to eradicate this chemical.

Bisphenol A is used to make food containers as bottles or tuppers or, for example, coatings cans. to avoid, we simply opt for other containers, crystal or even metal before BPA, and always prefer fresh food (local be possible) to canned, and the same applies to water.

To stop using plastic containers in general, We are doing an environmental gesture of great value. Not only because we avoid production, thus this leads to emissions, including transport costs and their respective carbon footprint often.

In addition, Plastic waste is a major environmental threats affecting our environment, especially ocean, causing pollution problems and disorder of biological processes of the species, affected by this compound in very different ways, in many cases, still unknown.
