BPA Was First Developed As A Synthetic Estrogen

Bisphenol A (BPA) was developed in the 1890s as a synthetic estrogen.[1] What genius thought is was okay to use it in plastic items used to contain and consume food?

Research has raised concerns about its connection to diabetes, cardiovascular, respiratory, and kidney diseases, breast cancer, birth defects, reproductive disorders, and obesity.[2]

Industry realized in the 1950s[3] it could use BPA to make polycarbonate plastic and it appears the original reason the chemical was made was overlooked.

Government regulating bodies had determined that 50 milligrams per kilogram of BPA exposure was a tolerable intake of BPA daily.[1]

Studies have shown that exposure way below the tolerable intake level still negatively effected the sperm count of men.[4]
