Due to consumer outrage, some companies stopped using bisphenol A in the manufacture of plastic products. But if it says “no BPA” on a plastic container, it’s does not mean that it does not contain potentially hazardous chemicals. A recent study in Germany found in all tested water bottles of more than 24 thousand of such chemicals – some of them can cause serious hormonal violations. According to Johann Frankfurt University Wolfgang Goethe, researchers tested eighteen different water bottles looking for chemicals that destroy endocrine system. They discovered a lot more than calculated by identifying 24520 different chemicals during testing. Selecting each substance separately, and determining their effect on organism, researchers narrowed the circle of chemicals with anti-estrogen properties to one: di (2-ethylhexyl) fumarate. This find aroused great concern. Of eighteen different bottles with water, in thirteen was recorded “significant” anti-estrogenic activity, and water is sixteen out of eighteen bottles inhibited ninety body androgen receptors percent. In other words, it was found that bottled water to a large extent destructive to the human the body. However, in addition to di (2-ethylhexyl) fumarate, scientists revealed other active chemicals that are still unknown, destroying the endocrine system. Anti androgenic effect is having something else. As scientists told online magazine plos One, “guided by authentic standards, we have affirmed identity and biological activity of di (2-ethylhexyl) fumarate and additional isomers – dioctyl fumarate and maleate. Because the di (2-ethylhexyl) fumarate is anti-estrogen and not anti-androgenic, we concluded that the antagonistic effect bottled water is called extra still unknown endocrine disrupting chemicals system. “Hormonal disorder can seriously affect human life, causing the effects of early maturation in children and to increase the risk of certain types of cancer. So Thus, the results of the above study cannot be take it lightly. Researchers summed up: “Moreover, antagonistic activity was very high. Equivalent to 3.75 ml of bottled water inhibited estrogen and androgen receptors sixty and ninety percent. In bottled water out of six different countries have been found to be estrogenic, anti-estrogenic, and androgenic, progestogen and glucocorticoid chemicals. it indicates that a popular drink is contaminated with chemical substances of various actions that destroy the endocrine system. “Source translation for MixedNews – Anastasia Bukina
