According to several reports, everyone's favorite plastic bottle chemical to hate, bisphenol A (BPA), has permeated our currency. I guess that means your cash isn't safe to use anymore. No need to worry, just place all your filthy bills in an envelope and send them to me.
Just kidding. Be grateful dear readers for my kind heart and moral conscious, for these are the reasons why I've decided not to run off with your so-called diseased cash. You may have read that money and plastic bottles are bad for you due to the presence of BPA, but why? This useful chemical has done a lot of good, yet still carries a bad reputation. Look past the rumors and discover the truth about BPA.
The early years. Many people aren't aware that BPA has been around for a long time. It was invented in the late 1800s but wasn't put to work until the 1950s. It was during that time that BPA was used to create polycarbonate plastic in a variety of products, including of course, plastic bottles. It wasn't until many years later that the chemical was first called under questioning.
Canned food protector. BPA is used in many packaging applications. Its presence in plastic bottles is obvious, but epoxy resins (BPA often found in the lining of metal cans) are making a rumor splash as well. Don't fret over catching cancer by eating baked beans; instead be thankful for the preservation advancements that only BPA can provide canned foods. If you take it away you might as well invite botulism and other food borne illnesses to your next impromptu block party.
A ban on plastic bottles and everything else. If BPA were to be banned from use, plastic bottles and metal can linings made with the chemical wouldn't be the only products to disappear. In today's society we safely handle many useful items made from BPA. Take CDs and DVDs for example. What about sunglasses and all sort of sports equipment? No one is worried about using these things despite the fact that they all and many other items include BPA.
In and out faster than you think. Now that you know BPA is all around you it's easy to understand how it can be easily ingested. Unlike so called "studies" claim, this isn't anything to worry about. Human bodies don't build a up a storage of BPA, instead they process and extract the harmless chemical quickly, within 24 hours.
The finishing touch. Here's a sweet point to top everything off nicely. There have been thousands of investigations regarding the safety of BPA and not one peer reviewed study has proven that BPA is detrimental to human health. So, stop worrying, drinking from plastic bottles won't hurt!
People have safely used and interacted with BPA for years, so what caused such a widespread scare? Let's just say special interests have a way of making their agendas known, even if it's in a covert manner. Fear tends to triumph over proven findings, so they might as well make up their own storyline. It started with plastic bottles, but now even your money is involved. Don't accept sensationalism for real news any longer.
