BPA Replacement Harms Egg Cells, Study Suggests

摘要

Bisphenol S, a chemical used to manufacture polycarbonate water bottles and many other products such as epoxy glues and cash receipts, is an increasingly common replacement for bisphenol A, the use of which was discontinued because of concerns about its harmful effects on the reproductive system. However, in a new study, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researchers have found that BPS is "just as harmful to the reproductive system" as the chemical it replaced, and that BPS "damages a woman's eggs and at lower doses than BPA".
