PLASTICS: Breast Cancer & The Estrogen Connection

Estrogenic chemicals in plastics. What you need to know, from Cornell University

What you can do:

Learn the names of environmental estrogens
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an environmental estrogen found in polycarbonate plastics (recycle symbol 7). It is also used in the epoxy lining of metal cans (food cans).

Minimize leaching from polycarbonate sports or baby bottles
-Wear and tear, harsh detergents, or heat can cause bisphenol A to leach out.
-Hand-wash bottles in mild detergent.
-Don't leave bottles where they can heat up (hot car, hot sand, etc.).
-Don't use bottles that are worn or scratched; recycle or reuse.
-Microwave food or beverages in glass or lead-free ceramic containers.

Make alternative choices
-Consider using food-grade stainless steel water bottles or glass baby bottles.
-Minimize use of canned foods; eat more fresh produce or dried products instead.

This video explains the dangers of the misuse of plastics and how it can lead to cancer in women. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, this video should be shared with women of all ages. I agree with the other comment, in regards to Gov. regulations. An attempt was made in CA recently, however, the plastic industry lobbied against a bill and won over the politicians. More public outcry is needed to swing our leaders to enact a bill that will ban BPA's.

I think "The Pill" plays into it too, it has estrogen and lots of it!

Great video. Nice animations. But we also need government regulations on environmental estrogens. It shouldn't be up to the consumer to have to figure all this out.
