Description
BPA is a phenolic environmental estrogen which disrupts endocrine activity. In human, a BPA glucuronide was a primary metabolite of BPA. In a recent study, the age group with highest BPA exposure was 6-11 years old with a mean total (free+ glucuronidated) BPA level of 4.33 ng/g of creatinine. Urinary BPA levels were correlated with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. A recent study revealed that a 12-ounce serving of canned soup for 5 days increased urinary BPA level 12-fold due to BP A-containing epoxy resin lining of the cans
