The dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA) in the plastic products we use everyday has been around for a while, but I just saw a new article on it this morning.
As you know, fertility has been dropping in the western world for quite some time, and there is some evidence that BPA plastics contribute to that. There are a host of other health issues linked to it as well.
I read about this at least ten years ago, when it was just a "conspiracy theory" story. I have changed the way that I store and heat food (especially the microwave). I went to all glass containers. I don't drink liquids in plastic that are exposed to the sun for extended periods of time. The plastics will leach the chemical into foods and liquids that are heated more readily.
