Shocking - toxicity with bisphenol A has now reached 100 percent |
|
New research published in the Environmental Science & Technology journal fully exposes the government's lie that a chemical from plastic - bisphenol-A (BPA) - is not harmful or permanent in humans.
The latest assessment of fetal exposure to BPA has concluded that 100% of small and unborn children have BPA circulating in their bloodstream, indicating a general poisoning with this ubiquitous toxin.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says that after an individual is exposed to BPA this chemical is completely metabolized in the liver, which makes it harmless.
But real science reveals the opposite is the trugh - BPA usually ends up circulating in the active form throughout the bloodstream.
And not only that - the chemical manifests itself in a more toxic form, which is yet another shocking discovery made possible by using the latest laboratory techniques.
For the new study in San Francisco, samples were taken from the umbilical cord of 85 fully developed babies and were then tested for BPA.
It was found that samples contained BPA in the active form and in different BPA metabolites.
The highest levels ever measured in the blood of fetuses were discovered in three samples.
And for the first time ever, BPA sulfate - an active metabolite of BPA - was also found in blood samples, which has very surprised the researchers.
"Our findings from the studied population suggest a general fetal exposure to BPA. In some cases, BPA levels were very high. We have evidence of detectable BPA in fetuses in the second trimester", said the researchers.
BPA is very likely responsible for the epidemic of neurological and hormonal problems in children
The reason why you should be upset is that the BPA in the active form is a strong estrogen substance.
Furthermore, this chemical can cause serious neurological damage and behavioral problems in young children and specifically in young boys, which has been scientifically confirmed.
Estrogen nature of BPA can seriously disrupt the endocrine system, potentially causing low levels of testosterone and other hormonal imbalances.
As far as this last study, it was the first of its kind in which samples of umbilical cord during the second trimester of pregnancy were tested to BPA.
Previous studies used blood tests of pregnant women, the placenta and cord blood, and found in them high percentages of BPA.
However, this study went a step further, arguing that BPA is indeed present in human blood, and that it is not a result of errors in tests or of external contamination.
"These results should go a long way toward breaking the myth that all BPA in human blood is a result of accidental contamination during sampling," said Laura Vandenberg, a scientist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Claims that the high levels of BPA in blood are caused by contamination in the laboratory are ridiculous."
Given that we know that there is BPA in various active forms within the body, and that it can be absorbed directly through the skin, long-term implications for the health of future generations are daunting.
Recognizing this, many experts today are looking for a complete ban on BPA, which is still being added to the packaging for the food and beverage bottles for children and a host of other consumer products that millions of people come into contact with every day.
"Overall, the latest findings indicate severe fetal exposure to BPA in the course of their development. There is a need for an accurate assessment of exposure to this dangerous chemical during pregnancy", added the original authors of the study.
