Plastic Bottle Chemical BPA Does Enter Body According to Study

AboutLawsuits.com: "The new study, conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, is likely to add additional fuel to the recent calls for a ban on the use of BPA in baby products like baby bottles and plastic sippy cups. Researchers found that regular consumption from bottles made with the chemical can result in increased BPA levels in human urine, confirming that BPA is absorbed by the body from the bottles.

According to the Harvard study, published this month in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, “Regular consumption of cold beverages from polycarbonate bottles is associated with a substantial increase in urinary BPA concentrations irrespective of exposure to BPA from other sources.” The report’s findings suggest that drinking from plastic bottles made with the chemical can increase the amount of BPA in the body by 69 percent."
