The title should read that the NIH found [A] cause of breast and prostrate cancer but there were too many characters to fit.

It is the BHA chemical found in polycarbonate plastics found in:

baby bottles, eye glasses?, drink bottles etc.

(this is not the chemical already banned in Europe and Canada which sounds like Phenylkenes or pfulmates but is spelled differently.)

Behavioral problems like autism also seem to be caused by BHA and is now being explored but the researh has only just begun.

What is conclusive is that the BHA virtually falls out of the plastic matrix akin to outgassing and causes breast cancers and prostrate cancers even in children.


The Diane Reems Show dianereems.org had the NIH scientist and some sort of industry defender on the show today.

A priceleess moment came when the industry spokesman said "There is much hysteria and misinformation regarding this plastic and and claims of various hazards...."

Diane then raised her voice and asked "Was there any misinformation on this show about this chemical?"   The guy proceeded to answer a different question when...
Diane then raised her voice again and asked "Was there any misinformation on this show about this chemical?"

and the guy sheepishly said "no".

I love moments like that.



Anyway this is all I know about this subject so far and need to listen to the show again and get some NIH links.


PS

I mentioned this topic at the optician shop today and a woman chimed in about her father's ground breaking research into the hazards of dioxin. She said he was the first to introduce the conclusive findings regarding the harm dioxin causes to the entire world.
