Giant Bottle Of Patron

risks of bisphenol A, the plastic used in baby bottles and children's toys

Si torna a parlare del Bisfenolo A e dei sui rischi . Si tratta di una sostanza plastica contenuta nella maggiorparte di biberon e prodotti per bambini neonati come biberon, bottiglie di plastica, giocattoli e stoviglie infrangibili.

Un recentissimo articolo pubblicato su Nature, qui potete leggerlo interamente , fa tornare all' attenzione pubblica circa la sua tossicità. Stare a contatto con il Bisfenolo A può portare allo sviluppo di cancro alla prostata e al cervello oltre a favorire ritardi nello sviluppo dei neonati . Il Bisfenolo A non è the only component observed for health risks, there are also phthalates, already banned in toys made in EU , but there are no guarantees as to those "false" without CE mark for bisphenol A the evidence is not overwhelming, but the precautionary principle - after some studies in which disease was associated with male sexual development in the fetus and the decline of fertility in adult humans - has led many countries such as Denmark and Canada (and producers) to to ban the manufacture of baby bottles. And the regulatory agencies of the old continent are developing ad hoc recommendations. Although this study

dated 2006, linking the exposure Bisphenol to increase development of prostate cancer. American chemical companies that produce the plastic component, however, deny the offending studies, according to them the fact that bisphenol inject under the skin in experiments with mice instead of orally as it is for newborn babies in contact with the bottle is misleading .

However, if the Bisphenol A is suspected that affect the proper development of the reproductive system, the question is more 'high regard for that are already banned phthalates in toys in Europe.
