Migraines link to plastic cups and bottles: 'Gender-bending' chemical in packaging may trigger the attacks
The link blames a gender-bending chemical in plastics, Bisphenol A (BPA), for the migranes that are occurring in 1 out of 7 Britons.
In addition to headaches and gender health issues, BPA is also implicated in other issues as well, namely obesity, infertility, and heart attacks. Those affected are urged to cut exposure to BPA by avoiding plastic microwave trays, plastic bottles, and office water coolers.
I've noticed over here that my grape juice doesn't taste the same as it did in the days of glass bottles, when it tasted lot better.
If the studies are true, that'd be a good reason to go back to using sterile glass containers again. The health and good taste will be worth it.
