New study links BPA to heart disease
Individuals who have higher levels of exposure to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) may be more likely to require a prescription to buy Plavix at some point in their life. New research indicates that the chemical may be linked to a high risk of heart disease.
Individuals who have higher levels of exposure to the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) may be more likely to require a prescription to buy Plavix at some point in their life. New research indicates that the chemical may be linked to a high risk of heart disease. BPA has come to be used in many plastic products and is also a component of the linings of aluminum cans. Its use increased during the course of the last decade, but evidence has surfaced in recent years suggesting that it may be a health risk. In the present study, a team of researchers from the UK tracked the health records of a group of participants over a 10-year period. During this time, they also took urine samples from the participants. The results showed that individuals who had the highest levels of BPA in their urine were more likely to develop heart disease during the study period, compared to those who had low levels of exposure to the chemical. The team said their findings add to the evidence linking BPA to heart disease. It may be time for government agencies to conduct safety studies on the chemical, they concluded. |
