It’s worth finding out why the Canadian government has started banning
the widely use chemical BPA in containers that hold products for human
consumption. The scientific data highlighted in this report is one of
the most significant pieces of evidence to explain what is causing the
plummeting fertility and skyrocketing cancer rates worldwide along with
other reproduction defects. Frederick Vom Saal, Professor of Biology at
the University of Missouri Columbia, accommodated Fox News
in performing tests on plastics, in particular food cans with plastic
linings. The popular food products in cans tested were purchased at an
average supermarket. The professor of biology tested for the chemical
BPA (Bisphenol-A) to determine how much is leaked into foods or liquids
from the unstable plastic lining on a microscopic level. Plastics
manufactures add BPA to their products as it can create a glass like
surface and are less prone to crack. The implications are significant
as in the news broadcast professor Vom Saal explains that the chemical
BPA is known as a synthetic female sex hormone mimicker and in “1936
was considered for use as an oestrogen drug”. It is an unstable
chemical that leeches out at very low but powerful levels.

“We started testing it at levels tens of thousands of times below what any body
has ever tested before and found it profoundly damaged the male reproductive system.
We know it causes brain damage and it causes breast cancer and prostate cancer,” said Professor Vom Saal.

This test involved the purchase of different canned products right
off supermarket shelves. The food was removed from the cans. The cans
were rinsed with water until clean and left to dry. Then ultra pure
filtered water was poured in to the cans. The test was to determine how
stable can linings are with merely water being in contact with them for
only 24 hours. Professor Vom Saal explained, “every single product here
put out an amount of Bisphenol-A that would be in the danger zone. This
is a chemical that can alter the way your cells function at below a trillionth
of a gram. One million times lower than this.”
