Animal studies have shown that BPA substitutes are unsafe

BPA, a chemical commonly found in plastic products such as baby bottles, is being replaced by materials such as bisphenol S due to health risks. These alternatives, like BPA, can still cause fertility problems, according to a mouse study published in the American Journal of Current Biology on the 13th.
many plastic products on the market today are beginning to be labeled "BPA-free" and claim to be safe to use, mostly using alternative materials such as bisphenol S, a chemical similar to bisphenol A chemical structure .
Researchers at Washington State University and the University of California, San Francisco, found that in mice exposed to BPA, reproductive cells in their testicles and ovaries had DNA (deoxybonucleic acid) recombination problems when making sperm and eggs, leading to a decrease in the number of living sperm and an increase in the number of abnormal eggs. Alternatives such as BPAF, BPAF and biphenyls can have similar consequences.
Previous U.S. studies have suggested that BPA may be as toxic as BPA, and animal studies have shown that it affects brain development and leads to multiple movements, so special groups like pregnant women should limit exposure to BPA-containing substances.
, a professor at Washington State University and lead author of the study, said there is growing evidence that while these commonly used alternatives to BPA are more stable, they are not safe. Hunt also said other widely used endocrine-disrupting chemicals, such as parabens, phthalates and flame retardants, could have a negative impact on fertility and more research was needed.
