Haber 7 - It has been determined that Bisphenol A (BPA), which is frequently used in the production of plastic products and food and beverage packaging, may negatively affect the body's response to insulin, leading to decreased insulin sensitivity and consequently an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
A chemical ubiquitous in our food packaging hides a metabolic secret. Bisphenol A, or BPA, comes daily to our plates. U.S. health authorities consider low doses to be harmless. However, new clinical research contradicts such a reassuring postulate. Scientists demonstrate for the very first time that a brief oral exposure ...

A chemical widely used in food and beverage packaging can reduce insulin sensitivity within a few days. For the first time, this effect has been demonstrated in an experiment on humans. It concerns bisphenol A (BPA), one of the most produced chemicals in the world...
A new randomized clinical trial has provided the first direct experimental evidence that the common industrial chemical bisphenol A (BFA) can impair the body's sensitivity to insulin.
Bisphenol A (BPA) appears to be able to reduce the body's insulin sensitivity within a few days. In a randomised, double-blind study of 40 healthy, normal-weight adults, peripheral insulin sensitivity decreased by around nine percent after five days of BPA administration. However, the small and predominantly young sample limits portability. San Luis Obispo (U.S.A.). Bisphenol A is an industrial chemical, [...] The article BPA weakens insulin sen…
