How to Limit Your Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors
About this video
The speaker identifies the lining of cans as the primary source of BPA, and says reducing fluid intake from plastic vessels helps reduce exposure. The speaker describes BPA as estrogenic and phthalates as anti-androgenic, noting phthalates make plastic soft while BPA makes it hard. The speaker also warns products labelled BPA-free may use BPS or BPF, described as lookalike analogs that are just as harmful.
Key takeaways
- The speaker identifies can linings as the primary source of BPA.
- The speaker describes BPA as estrogenic and phthalates as anti-androgenic.
- The speaker warns BPA-free products may use BPS or BPF, described as equally harmful analogs.
