Ladies and gentlemen, there is a NEW reason to be worried.
Guys, there are chemicals which may be harmful to your sperm.
In fact, these chemicals are SPERM KILLERS.
And ladies, this means if you and your spouse are attempting to have a child and become pregnant, then you may be striking out every time.
Health organizations around the world want to ban this chemical in products.
All because of adverse health concerns it poses in animal models and in humans as well.
This chemical: BPA.
And it is found in EVERYTHING!
What Is BPA?
BPA is a chemical commonly used in plastics, but is found in many other products we use every day.
From daily health care products to canned food linings, BPA is a common chemical that was introduced as a way to maintain food and all its health-providing qualities from spoilage.
The problem: BPA may be linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer.
And this is a BIG problem!
BPA In Women And Men
Men, BPA exposure may dramatically LOWER testosterone levels and SPERM count.
In fact, a study on Chinese factory workers exposed to high levels of BPA showed a decrease in sperm quality and sperm count.
Exposure led to 3 times the risk of lower sperm concentration and vitality,
and 4 times more likely to have decreased sperm counts
Canada wants to (or already has) labeled BPA as toxic.
Research by the Canadian Health Ministry showed that 91% of Canadians had increased urinary concentrations of BPA, and levels were HIGHER in children between the ages of 6 and 11.
Women, not only can BPA interfere with your man’s testosterone and sperm count, but it also may be dangerous for YOU and YOUR health.
BPA may be linked to polycystic ovary syndrome, which is associated with lower chance of getting pregnant due to increased testosterone levels.
Polycystic ovary syndrome may make it even harder to get pregnant.
Researchers showed a significant increase in BPA in the urine of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
More research is warranted and the exact reason why BPA is higher is unclear.
Sources Of BPA
So where exactly can you find BPA?
Canned Foods
Canning has been used for hundreds of years as a way to keep food fresh while retaining the nutrition.
However, industry has changed and BPA was introduced as a way to line canned foods which preserved foods better.
It may be shown that BPA may leak into the food, resulting in increased levels of BPA in humans.
Cash Money And Receipts
There may even be exposure to BPA when you handle a receipt after you purchase your canned goods.
Thermal paper, which is common paper used for cash receipts was found to have increased levels of BPA.
