New data was released from University of Cinncinatti, today, about Bisphenol-A. In case you are new, BPA is a toxin leached in plastic and cans that mimics estrogen, resulting in bad, bad things. (Click HERE for more data on BPA.)
Well, it seems new research has shown that the presence of BPA disrupts the efficacy of chemotherapy. Apparently, not only is it similar to estrogen, it also is structurally similar to DES. The reason BPA harms treatment in two ways, DES makes cancer cells proliferate and estrogen protects cells from chemical attacks. So, if you have something in your body that mimics these, it is nothing but a benefit to the cancer.
So, if you have and are treating cancer… please refrain from using products with BPA.
This really is a huge deal, people. I cannot stress this enough. Please, please, please limit the use of products that contain BPA.
DES has a long, not so good history. You can go HERE to find out more.
