Did you trade in your plastic water bottle for a metal one to limit your exposure to the estrogen-mimicking chemical BPA? A recent study shows that if you weren't careful in choosing your metal bottle, the problem may not have been solved.

A new University of Missouri study has revealed that exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA) through diet has been underestimated, and indicates that the controversial chemical accumulates more rapidly within the body than previously thought.

So-called biodegradable products are likely doing more harm than good in landfills, according to research released today from N.C. State University.

A new study shows you can halve the BPA in your body in three days by changing your diet. Skeptical?  Find out more about the study and one family's experience in it here.
