- resoluteteeth 2y agoBecause it's a study about injecting mice with bpa which doesn't necessarily give us that much additional information about how dangerous bpa exposure actually is to humans in the real world beyond what we already knew? But there are enough concerns about bisphenols that they should probably be phased out anyway to be safe.
- cpncrunch 2y agoAlso, the human study they refer to found “an association between high prenatal BPA exposure (top quartile (>2.18 μg/L) and greater ASP scores was only seen in males with low aromatase activity”, so they didnt find that bpa was associated with development of autism. Overall the link seems pretty weak, and they have to do a lot of scientific gymnastics to publish this paper.
