Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical used to harden plastic. It is found in a number of consumer products, including hard plastic drinking containers, hard plastic baby bottles and drinking cups, and the linings of infant formula and food cans. It is also found in the environment. In the United States, nearly everyone has measurable levels of BPA in their bodies.

In animal studies, BPA is an endocrine disrupter that imitates effects of the hormone estrogen. In animals, BPA is associated with estrogen-like effects, including changes in fetal/neonatal prostate glands and breast tissue. There is controversy about whether animal studies are relevant to humans. Some scientists and consumers are concerned enough that they suggest taking steps to reduce exposure to BPA
