Almost 90 per cent of teenagers have gender-bending chemicals from plastic in their bodies, according to a study.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is found in plastic containers and water bottles, on the inside of food cans and in till receipts.

The chemical, used since the 1960s to make certain types of plastic, mimics the female sex hormone oestrogen, and has been linked to low sperm counts and infertility in men, as well as breast and prostate cancer.

A study by the University of Exeter, whose researchers tested urine samples from 94 teenagers, found 86 per cent had traces of BPA in their body.

This isn't really news. It has been written about for 15 years or more.

The chemical (BPA) ... mimics the female sex hormone oestrogen ...

The gatorade quart jug is awesome for taking water to work though. Does anyone have something similar to replace that?

PVC is used to make pipes and plastic medical devices.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is also used to make PVC plastics. PVC contains high levels of chlorine.

PVC is used to make pipes, pipe fittings, pipe conduits, vinyl flooring, and vinyl siding. It is used to make wire and cable coatings, packaging materials, wrapping film, gutters, downspouts, door and window frames, gaskets, electrical insulation, hoses, sealant liners, paper and textile finishes, thin sheeting, roof membranes, swimming pool liners, weatherstripping, flashing, molding, irrigation systems, containers, and automotive parts, tops, and floor mats.

GI's been sucking up too much city water through PVC pipes, not to mention the medical devices he has inserted!
