BPS Just As Toxic As BPA

The "Safe" Replacement For BPA Might Be Just As Toxic

Over the past few years stores and companies have proudly displayed "BPA-Free" signs on their products such as water bottles, store receipts, soup cans and plastics. After studies showed that Bisphenol-A (BPA) could mimic estrogen and thus 'corrupt' one's hormones companies began frantically searching for an alternative from BPA and they thought they had found their answers in BPS. BPS stands for Bisphenol-S.There's just one problem, BPS could do just as much damage as BPA. 

A team of scientists at the University of Texas recently conducted a study in which it was found that:

"BPS can induce rapid non-genomic signaling in estrogen-responsive pituitary cells at low (femtomolar-picomolar) concentrations."

In other words BPS can mimic the body's estrogen hormones.
