Things to know more about Bisphenol A


The Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound widely used in the manufacture of plastics. Therefore, it can be present in plates, bottles, bottles, pacifiers, toys, etc. since it would need a high amount to cause damage.

BPA (Bisphenol-A) is a chemical that is added to many commercial products, including food containers and hygiene products. It was discovered for the first time in 1890, but in 1950, chemists realized that it could be mixed with other compounds to produce strong and resistant polycarbonate plastics. Currently, BPA plastic containers are commonly used in food containers, baby bottles and other things. PA is also used to make epoxyresins, which are put on the inner line of food container cans to prevent the metal from corroding and cracking.


Truths and conjectures about BPA

  •  It is known with certainty that:
  • 95% of human beings present BPA in the urine.
  • BPA is harmful to health and to the environment.
  • It is not known exactly what is the maximum dose of BPA that can be considered as having no adverse effects on health. Especially in the long term.
  • PVC, epoxy resins (present in interior coatings of can and soda cans) and many polycarbonates, have BPA.
Plastics that are often reused, with scratches, etc., release more BPA.
The temperature and the acidity of the foods favor the migration of BPA.
Many experts say that BPA is harmful, but others do not agree.
Biological Mechanisms of BPA.



It is said that BPA mimics the structure and function of the hormone called estrogen.
Because of its estrogen-like conformation, BPA can bind to estrogen receptors and influence body processes, such as growth, cell repair, fetal development, energy levels and reproduction.
In addition, BPA may also can interact with other hormone receptors, such as thyroid hormone receptors, and, consequently, alter their function.

Your body is sensitive to changes in hormone levels, which is the reason why it is believed that BPA's ability to mimic estrogen can damage your health.
Currently BPA is everywhere (air, water, etc.) in small quantities. Enough so that modern ultra-trace analytical methods can detect them. If you worried about BPA while taking food or drinking its better to take water from water bottle with filter and BPA free Materials. problem is not the presence of BPA in certain plastics, but when these plastics are in contact with food, part of the BPA can pass to them, then be ingested by humans or animals and move to the environment. It is what is called migration.

Possible migrations that can occur: to bottled water in plastic containers, to water heated in water heaters made of plastic, to food stored in plastic bags and containers, either in the refrigerator, or when heating them with a microwave or freezing them, etc.

reasons why we should drink more water?

People who are dieting strictly and exercise to lose weight . Drink hot water over cold water. Weight loss will be better. Exercise increases the body temperature. And drinking water while exercising will help to lower body temperature. And to replace the body fluid lost from sweating . But should drink water properly, then sip water after exercise. Downing should not drink because it can cause dangerous and Cork Drinking warm water also reduces body fat. And to add more benefits. Try drinking warm water with a little lemon juice daily in the morning. It will reduce fat tissue or body fat. In addition, pectin fiber in lemon also helps control appetite. You eat it or worse for health. Drinking hot water can remove toxins in the body. When you drink 2-3 cups of warm water, it will help keep the body warm. Helps to sweat, so it feels cooler. The sweat that flows out of the toxic substance. Warm water increases the temperature in the middle of the body. This helps incre...

what to know more about concept of Big Data

The concept of Big Data has been around for a long time, but, in the last decade, it has become one of the most popular phrases in the business world. Companies & colleges like hkbk group of institutions have always collected a large amount of data because information is essential for entrepreneurs to know and understand the performance of their companies, the behavior of their consumers and current market conditions. However, for the insurance industry, they have a very important meaning and are part of strategies focused on helping our clients, and therefore our business.     The concept of Big Data is closely related to the notion of digitization; without digitalization , it would be impossible to take advantage of Big Data. The digital transformation requires a digitalization of the productive, financial and commercial processes, since the cornerstone of this is digital information. Just collecting information will not produce any positive impact. To benefit fro...

will 5g technology overcome 4g issues?

Today we reach half a second (which seems little) for our mobile users. The other advantage of the shorter wavelengths of mm-Wave Technology is that antennas used to transmit and receive signals can be significantly reduced. This means that phones using mm-Wave Technology could benefit from multiple antennas for different millimeter wavebands in a single device: thus, the available network would be more efficient, and the internet connection much faster when multiple users would be connected. But tomorrow, some technologies will require a faster response time. For example, half a second of latency for the millions of connected cars that will circulate is far too long. To avoid any accident, it would take a latency of less than one millisecond. Today, the data transmission delay in 4G + approaches 10 milliseconds. In 5G technology , this could be reduced to less than a millisecond. When it comes to a vehicle to avoid a road accident or a robot to carry out surgery remotely, these...
