Researchers have proven that chemical A (BPA), which is used in food packaging, is very dangerous to our health..

For example, it can cause hormonal imbalance and lead to obesity..

As a substitute, chemically similar substances are used - bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF). But, according to the study, these two substances are also associated with metabolic disorders and an increased likelihood of obesity in children and adults..

“Unfortunately, BPF and BPS have almost such? the same chemical structure as BPA, therefore, can act in a similar way in the body, ”says study author Melanie Jacobson, MD, New York University.

Bisphenols are a class of substances known as endocrine disruptors.. They act like hormones, which upsets the body’s metabolism, and contributes to the accumulation of fat and obesity.. They are contained in aluminum cans, plastic, thermal paper and other consumer products..

The best way to protect yourself from the effects of bisphenols is to reduce the consumption of processed foods in jars and plastic, not use a microwave to heat them, and avoid other sources of bisphenol, such as thermal paper..
