Plastics Leaching BPA Found to be A “Problem” in Harvard Study

Chemical found in common plastics poses health threat to humans according to new Harvard Study.

“According to HSPH: “The study is the first to show that drinking from polycarbonate bottles increased the level of urinary BPA, and thus suggests that drinking containers made with BPA release the chemical into the liquid that people drink in sufficient amounts to increase the level of BPA excreted in human urine.”

Why is this dangerous?

“BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetes in humans and disrupted reproductive development in animals.” For more information on BPA, please click here.

It Pays to be Healthy

Many companies are compensating their employees to stay healthy.

“Nearly 6 in 10 (58%) now offer wellness programs, up from fewer than half (43%) in 2007. And the percentage of companies paying people to ditch bad habits (especially eating junk food and not exercising enough) has gone from 53% in 2008 to 61% this year.”
