Simple Way to Reduce Your Exposure To Toxic BPA...
Dear Reader,
If you're worried about (Bisphenol A) BPA, there are some simple things you can do to reduce your exposure. A recent study finds that avoiding plastic packaging or canned foods might be a smart way to reduce the levels of this troublesome chemical in your own body. Only three days of eating freshly prepared or organically grown foods brought levels down by 66%.
Bisphenol A has gotten quite a lot of media attention and is found in many types of plastic packaging, some water bottles, sealing wrap and containers used for food storage. It lines the inside of most food cans.
BPA is known to be an endocrine disrupting chemical tied to lots of health issues, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, infertility, even ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in children.
Canada banned BPA from baby bottles back in 2008, and in that same year the Journal of the American Medical Association published research that showed adults who had the highest levels of BPA also had more than two times the risk of diabetes as those with the lowest BPA levels. Still the work only points out an association, it can't say that the BPA is directly causing any health issue.
In the U.S. we are seeing more BPA free packaging. Some states have acted to limit BPA, others have outright banned its use in food in drink containers intended for use by children.
The FDA is still reviewing the issue and the U.S. NIH plans to spend $30 million to study the chemical for safety. In the meantime, some of the worlds largest food makers (Nestle, Heinz, General Mills) are working to find packaging alternatives.
This research offers some strong evidence that the packaging of foods is a major, though probably not the only, source of exposure to BPA and another chemical, a phthalate known as DEHP according to researcher Ruthann A. Rudel, MS a director of research in Newton, MA.
The subjects were 20 people from five San Francisco area families selected based on answers to queries about how often they drank from plastic bottles or an office water cooler, ate food from cans or at restaurants, or microwaved in the plastic container. All of these habits are known sources of exposure to both BPA and pthalates.
Phthalates are the chemicals that make plastic strong and clear.
The subjects provided urine samples before, during and at the end of the study. This gave the researchers the ability to check BPA, and other chemical levels.
For a three-day period a caterer who had been trained to prepare food without exposing it to chemicals delivered meals to the participants. No plastic utensils were used; foods were cooked on regular (not nonstick) cookware and stored in glass containers with plastic lids free of BPA. Even then, the researchers instructed the cooks not to overfill the containers so the food would have no chance to touch the lid.

Simple Way to Reduce Your Exposure To Toxic BPA... Continued...
The meals were made from fresh fruits, veggies, grains and meats. Microwaving
in plastic was forbidden as was using a coffee maker with any plastic parts.
Coffee lovers got their morning beverage from ceramic drip models or French presses.
Water came in stainless steel bottles, not plastic. Eating out was banned as
many restaurant meals have also been found to have high levels of BPA.
By study's end, the urine samples showed the BPA level dropped from 3.7 nanograms
per milliliter (ng/mL) to 1.2 ng/mL The amount of DEHP decreased by almost half,
starting at 57 ng/mL, ending at 25 ng/mL. Those who had the highest BPA levels
at the start of the study saw the biggest drops - 76% for BPA and 95% for DEHP
metabolites.
Knowing more about the ways we're exposed to chemicals can help us all limit
that exposure if we choose. The changes aren't all that difficult... and the
removal of these chemicals from the body takes place rather quickly. You don't
have to perfect... but you can do better by changing the way you shop, the way
you cook and store foods.
The best advice when it comes to BPA, or any chemical, for that matter, is that
if you don't need to be exposed, reduce where you can. So don't heat food in
plastic containers or covered tightly in plastic wrap... but enjoy a meal out
if you like.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
