It is widely known that the use of toxic chemicals such as bisphenol-A (BPA) in food containers has been linked to a number of health problems including cancer, heart disease and infertility – see The Independent article. But now new research has shown that exposure to BPA may suppress male hormones in the body and can make men impotent. Frank Sommer, a Berlin-based urologist, told The Telegraph newspaper that chemicals like BPA “could shift the balance of sex hormones in men towards oestrogen….[which] leads to less sexual drive.”

This blog has recently reported how California is getting ever closer to banning BPA in all food containers for children under 3 years old. If the bill gets the backing from California governor Arnold Schwarznegger would mean that the state joining Denmark, Canada and three other states in banning BPA. The strides California is making on this issue is further giving impetus to British campaigner’s efforts to persuade the UK’s coalition government, led by David Cameron, to consider taking similar action against the use of BPA.

Admittedly there is a huge ongoing debate amongst scientists on whether the use of chemicals like bisphenol-A (BPA) in baby bottles and other food containers pose a risk to human health. Despite a large number of research studies that show a worrying link between BPA and a variety of human ailments, the toxic chemicals industry are pushing back on further regulation of its business activities. Healthy Child Healthy World reports that the chemicals industry is about to launch a PR campaign to ease public concerns and perhaps garner political sympathy.
