Last year, news broke about the link between a compound called bisphenol A (or BPA) and cancer. Though it caused a huge uproar, some of us tend to be skeptics when it seems like every day there is a new carcinogen out there. Maybe this will get your attention: this month, Shape Magazine summarizes a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that now links BPA to diabetes. According to the article, those with high levels of BPA in their bodies were more than twice as likely to have diabetes.
Look for the number 7 on the bottom of any plastic bottles that you may take to the gym or carry to work and get rid of them! Better safe than sorry!
