BPA linked to Severe Heart Disease

Bisphenol A (BPA) is banned in much of Europe but not in the US. It is found in many plastics and resins. Most cans are lined with a resin that contains BPA. Plastics with the recycle code of  3 or 7 may contain BPA. It is also found in credit card and cash register receipts, water pipes, and food packaging. It has been found in human breast milk as well. A new study in the United Kingdrom, the Metabonomics and Genomics in Coronary Artery Disease study found a link between coronary artery disease (heart disease) and BPA, especially in severe heart disease. The mechanism is still unknown.
