UNDERSTANDING BPA: WHAT IT IS, AND WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID IT

BPA (Bisphenol A) is a chemical commonly found in plastics and resins. When BPA-containing materials come into contact with food and beverages, there’s a possibility of it leaching into these consumables.

Once BPA enters the body, it can mimic estrogen, a hormone crucial for regulating many bodily processes, potentially causing disruption in hormone function. High levels of BPA exposure are associated with various health concerns, including:

• Hormonal Imbalances: BPA’s ability to imitate estrogen can interfere with natural hormone levels, potentially impacting reproductive health, especially with long-term exposure.
• Increased Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes: Some research suggests that BPA may contribute to metabolic concerns, including a higher risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.
• Developmental Effects on Children: For infants and young children, exposure to BPA may impact brain development and behaviour, raising additional concerns.

Why Avoid BPA?

Avoiding BPA can minimise potential health risks, particularly for groups like pregnant women and young children who may be more susceptible. Although regulatory bodies continue to assess safe BPA levels, many customers prefer to be cautious. Opting for BPA-free products is a proactive choice, offering peace of mind that daily-used items are free from unnecessary chemical exposure.

BPA-free products are especially recommended for items that frequently interact with food or that are regularly handled, such as storage containers and receipts, where BPA has a higher potential for leaching.
