BPA and Reproduction

BPA is currently under speculation by many of the endocrinology, reproductive specialists, and genetics communities. BPA is now believed to be harmfull to the reproductive system not just in hormone development but also in pregnancies. Dr. Giudice, the chair of OBGYN at UCSF, and Dr. Hunt, professor of genetics at Washington State, have found that BPA may be effecting fetus development and chromosome creation in mice. In humans, fertility rates have gone down and frequency of genetic diseases such as male genital development in gestation, and inborn defects.
