The BPA we ingest gets into our bloodstream and may lead to a series of problems
Plastic has other carcinogens as well including PVC, dioxin, and styrene, all of
which are linked to cancer. They also have side effects on animals causing
testicular cancer, genital deformations, low sperm counts, and infertility in a
number of species, including polar bears, deer, whales, and others," said Dr
Nitasha Gupta, IVF expert, Indira IVF Hospital, New Delhi."
Glass never transfer
chemicals the same way as plastic, and is much safer for heating your meals in.

unborn child at a greater risk of infertility, diabetes, obesity and cancer. It
may also lead to recurrent miscarriages.Heating plastic containers in the
microwave releases 95 percent of all chemicals.The level of exposure to BPA is
so high that regular monitoring by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) shows that more than 90 percent of the general population has detectable
level of bisphenol A in their bodies.Scientists have found that heating food in
plastic containers in a microwave oven can cause high blood pressure, affect
fertility, and damage the brain functioning. Eating those chemicals can increase
risks of cancer, infertility and havoc on the normal functioning of reproductive
systems and your brain," she added.Dr Swati, a Hyderabad based gynaecologist,
suggests we should try and minimise the use of plastic as much as possible and
pack food in glass containers."The disturbing truth is that heat transfers the
chemicals in plastic very effectively into your food. Heating plastic containers
in the microwave releases 95 percent of all chemicals. An increase in plastic
use in everyday lifestyles could be a contributing factor, causing an increase
of infertility worldwide.
The BPA we ingest gets into our bloodstream and may
lead to a series of problems like infertility, hormonal changes, changes in
gender traits bottling machine and
even different types of cancers.."The most hazardous chemicals in plastic
containers are bisphenol A, commonly known as BPA, and phthalate.On that note,
heating plastic containers in the microwave releases 95 percent of all
chemicals. A report from FDA states that chemicals, mostly BPA, adversely
effects both male and female fertility," she said.According to a study released
by American society of reproductive health, BPA inhibits embryo implantation as
well, and hence it is linked to higher level of In vitro-fertilization failure.
When the food is heated, the food touching the plastic receives the chemicals
leaching out
