A healthy human body clears BPA fine.

The problem is many people are getting exposed to quite a bit all day long by eating and drinking a lot of canned/bottled stuff. I wouldn't freak out about what a water bottle is made of if you don't have chronic high exposure.
More important than freaking about minor exposure is supporting a strong metabolism, immune system, and liver function. The body can clear stuff like this fine if running well. You want to be running a high metabolism on plenty of sugar and starch.

- a8da6b0c91d 12y agoYes. The liver burns through a ton of glycogen. Allowing glycogen to get low by way of long periods of fasting or insufficient carb intake will inhibit the liver's effectiveness at clearing out estrogens, xeno-estrogens or otherwise. The immune system is also very glucose intensive. This is of course why hospitals put sick patients on dextrose drips.
