Common plastic or heart risk
The journal circulation, A journal of the American heart association, cautions that maintaining heart health should reduce the risk of bisphenol A. Bisphenol A is an endocrine disruptor that disrupts human hormone secretion and is associated with cancer, diabetes and obesity. Try not to use plastic products to reduce exposure to bisphenol A. The no.7 PC plastic kettle, water cup, and milk bottle should be used with caution. Recently, such a post has been widely Shared online. Professor ding xuejia, a professor of materials at Beijing university of chemical technology, said there was some scientific evidence for this.
Xue-jia ding said that currently found in animal experiments, bisphenol A has simulated the effect of estrogen, even very low doses can make animals produce female precocious, sperm count down and prostate growth. In addition, the data shows that bisphenol A has certain embryo toxicity and teratogenicity, which can obviously increase the incidence of cancer of animal ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia and so on.
At the same time, bisphenol A has the effect of simulating estrogen, and the body's various bodily functions can not be separated from human hormones. Therefore, obesity, diabetes and even cardiovascular diseases are closely related to hormone regulation. If A lot of bisphenol A stimulates the body, it will lead to endocrine disorder, which can make people ill. What's more, bisphenol A is found in many plastic products, and people use too much, and there is A risk of genetic mutation.
The scientists found that the bisphenol A component of polycarbonate materials used in synthetic plastic food containers and beverage bottles was associated with the chromosomal aberrations that the mice produced in the experiment. If this happens to people, the newborn infant will have a congenital genetic disease called down syndrome, says ding.
At the same time, this bisphenol A, if it affects the parents, can have A risk affecting the next generation. Therefore, parents who have A plan to have children must be careful not to use items that may contain bisphenol A.
In addition, ding said the experiment also found that adult mice increased their resistance to insulin after they were given A chronic stimulatory of bisphenol A. Increased resistance to insulin in humans leads to type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure. In addition, the ultrahigh bisphenol A can accelerate the conversion of 3t3-l1 fibroblasts into adipocytes. It may also be a major cause of the current global obesity epidemic.
