Research published by "Hypertension: Journal of the
American Heart Association" claims that drinking or eating from cans or
bottles containing bisphenol A increases blood pressure.
Bisphenol A is a product used as a coating for some cans and
plastic bottles. It is demonstrated that this product has a detrimental effect
when it binds to hormone receptors and which also suppresses an essential
function of nerve cells and CNS development gene.
Yun-Chul Hong, head of the research and director of the
Center for Environmental Health, School of Medicine, National University of
South Korea says to drink in bottles with this chemical may cause clinically
significant problems especially in patients with heart disease or hypertension.
This study involved 60 adults who drank soy milk in glass
bottles or cans. This milk was used because it contains ingredients that
increase blood pressure. They were then performed to test urine samples the
concentration of bisphenol A, blood pressure and heart rate variability.
The results showed that bisphenol A increased to 1600
percent higher in people who drank cans about people who drank glass.
Therefore, these scientists are asking that manufacturers
take responsibility and develop healthy to bisphenol A for packaging
alternatives.
