BPA associated with heart disease and diabetes

Reuters - Common plastics chemical linked to human diseases

2.2 million tons of Bisphenol A is produced each year and used in plastic baby bottles, water bottles, plastic utensils, inside of food cans, etc. About 90% of people tested (in Britain) have it in their bodies. Of those who have it in their bodies the 25% who have the most are twice as likely to have heart disease/diabetes as the 25% who have the least amount of BPA (in their urine/blood). This is correlational evidence.
