Summary"More than 90 percent of Americans tested have traces of BPA in their bodie." (Grossman). BPA acts like an estrogen, disrupting hormones. People that are exposed to higher levels of BPA have a higher risk of suffering from cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Even small levels of BPA are dangerous. Biologists and toxicologists disagreed with each other. Biologists are saying that BPA is harmful to the public it does not matter how high the dose is. While toxicologists say that it has to be a higher dose for BPA actually causing any human health problems. But the toxicologists only numerical data and experiments while the biologists tests BPA on animals and saw that even a small of BPA can cause health issue.“How long do we have to see the same things repeated in studies until we say these effects are real?” Zoeller asked.

I think that government should do something as to regulate companies that are using BPA in their products. But if we want a real change, as consumers we must stop buying products that contain BPA. This will definitely get their attention and make changes in their products. But we must as be the ones making those changes because the government only want for people to consume and they are not looking out for the general public health. They only care about companies that will support their campaigns. The people make the change so avoid buying products that contain BPA. Its very important that you read what you buy and consumed.
