This distinction of great concern goes to a Cinncinnati, Ohio woman. The woman was pregnant at the time the measurements were taken in 2004, as part of a study of 400 participants. Her child experienced certain unspecified neurological problems at the age of one month, but the researchers were unable to definitively conclude whether such problems were, in fact, due solely to the high levels of BPA in her body.
How did such high levels of BPA accumulate in her body? The woman said that up to the 26th week of her pregnancy she ate canned ravioli every day and drank canned beverages – and a great majority of beverage and food cans are lined with BPA.
BPA is already known to interfere with the production of hormones and can reduce the quality of sperm and its effects on neurobehavior add a new level of concern.
