Say No to Bottled Water

That bottled water is not only hurting your pockets and the environment but also giving you diabetes and heart disease. An ubiquitous ingredient in plastics known as Bisphenol-A or BPA. BPA is the chemical once studied as a synthetic form of estrogen, but more recently known to leach out of some plastic water bottles and baby bottles, and that is found in all kinds of plastic products.
A resent JAMA (Journal of American Medical Association) study has found a connection between BPA and diabetes and heart disease in adults. Scientists reviewed the health of 1,455 American adults and found that people with higher concentrations of BPA in their urine were slightly more likely to have heart disease and diabetes.
This study was one of the largest BPA studies done in humans; it could only provide convincing circumstantial evidence that, where high levels of BPA lurked, so do diabetes and poor heart health. The study's authors wrote that their work could not definitively prove that BPA had a part in causing the diseases.
For some scientists, that's not enough to convince them that governments should begin regulating BPA in products.
