PLASTICS AND PROSTATE CANCER 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recent studies (*) have confirmed that bisphenol A present in almost all transparent plastics commonly used industry to contain liquids, tins to coat the inside even some bottles of plastic, interfere with hormones in our body and may be hormone-dependent precursones as breast and prostate cancers. To prevent these consequences, you should use the least these packages, but especially not heat them or expose to the sun as it is when much poison emerges. 

 

It has long been said, the European Commission has warned the need to regulate the use of bisphenol and society Sespas Spain, formed by 3800 professionals (Physicians and scientists) whose spokesman Dr. Nicholas Orea has warned that exposure in Spain is higher than in other countries and that these compounds (ED) are synthetic chemicals that have the capacity to alter the balance of the hormonal system of humans and many other species of living beings. 

 

"Endocrine disruptors are found in many products used in our daily life such as food, water, packaging, toys, textiles, pesticides, hygiene products, and many other consumer goods." His presence in the human body can produce reproductive health problems (infertility, birth defects), tumors and other diseases in hormone producing organs (breast, prostate, testes, thyroid), metabolic diseases (diabetes, obesity), immunological disorders and affect the normal growth and development, among many other problems. 

 

As reported Sespas members, "the strong pressure of the chemical lobby in Europe and Spain are impeding the implementation of the basic principles of public health through proper regulation and the implementation of risk reduction policies" . These pressures to protect their corporate interests "are delaying the action of all public authorities to protect the health of the population." 

 

Professor Nicolás Olea is a world leader in endocrine disruption, and has over 30 years working in the area of ​​health / illness and the environment, particularly in the study of hormone-dependent cancer. The "discovery" of hormones in the environment in 1987, during his stay as a Fulbright Schoolar in Boston, United States, marked a significant change in the orientation of the objectives of the working group. In 1991 he joined the consensus on the definition of "endocrine disruption" held at Wingspread (USA) at the hands of Theo Colborn, responsible for chemical contamination of WWF-US. At present, the working hypothesis of his research group is to link exposure to hormonally active chemicals and disease. The UGR researchers try to prove inadvertent exposure of the general population to these chemicals and other environmental factors of interest, and apply combined effect markers in epidemiologic studies of different design and in very different pathologies.
