Plastic dejection

-

CHEMICALS found in plastic food containers have been linked to the developmen­t of anxiety and depression in boys.

Experts at Columbia University in the US tested pregnant women for levels of bisphenol A (BPA), used to make a number of everyday food utensils.

Boys exposed to higher levels of BPA in their mother’s womb had more depression and anxiety than boys with lower levels. – Mail On Sunday
