@drpedinaturalhealth: Many receipts are printed on thermal paper containing BPA (bisphenol A) or its substitute BPS (bisphenol S). These chemicals are endocrine disruptors, which means they can interfere with hormone systems. BPA and BPS are absorbed through the skin, so handling receipts can lead to direct exposure. Here’s a breakdown of the potential risks: Hormonal Disruption: BPA and BPS mimic estrogen and can disrupt normal hormonal activity, potentially impacting fertility, growth, and development. Cancer Risk: Some studies suggest a link between BPA exposure and a higher risk of certain cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer, due to its hormone-mimicking properties. Metabolic and Cardiovascular Effects: Research indicates a connection between BPA exposure and metabolic disorders, like obesity and type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular issues, such as hypertension. Pregnancy and Fetal Development: BPA exposure has been associated with developmental issues in fetuses and infants, including neural development and behavior problems. If possible, try to minimize handling receipts, use digital receipts when offered, and wash hands after touching them, especially before eating or touching your face. Comment yes if you get paper receipts and no if you do not!
