Infertility in a bottle

Bisphenol A (BPA) is composed of plastic products, including baby feeding bottles. In the course of studying the state zdorvoya 550 factory workers in China (some of which are regularly in contact with BPA) scientists have found that this chemical is four times increases the risk of infertility in men.

"Our research has definitely proven in humans that has already been proven in animals - said study author Dr. Di Kun Li. - However, only one study can not answer all the questions." Earlier harm BPA contained in a variety of consumer products, was to prove only to the animals on which the experiments were conducted.

"For people not studied the impact of BPA - continues Dr. Li. - And especially in regard to the male reproductive system. Now we can give an answer to some skeptics - BPA can cause infertility ".

However, Dr. Lee himself knows that his research is unlikely to have any impact. Moreover, the level of contact with this dangerous chemical from factory workers in China is 50 times higher than the average man.

"At this stage we do not know what is the maximum permissible dose - Lee says. - And yet people do not worry, do not do crazy things."
