The results of our analysis of bisphenol A using toxicogenomics techniques have been conveyed to the French and European agencies for food safety and to Canadian Health Authorities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The results of a new scientific analysis revealing the dangers of bisphenol A (BPA) have been conveyed to the French Agency for Food Safety (AFSSA), the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as well as the Canadian Health Authorities. The analysis was commissioned by the group, Antidote Europe.\u00a0BPA\u00a0is a key component in many plastic products, ranging from plastic baby bottles to food containers and even CDs. Canada is the first country in the world to complete a risk assessment of\u00a0BPA, and to initiate a public consultation on whether to completely ban polycarbonate baby bottles which contain the substance.<\/p>\n

A close examination of\u00a0BPA\u00a0using an advanced scientific technique called toxicogenomics showed that normal gene activity was severely compromised. Human cell cultures exposed to\u00a0BPA\u00a0and its by-products caused the genes in the cells to behave as if the cells were becoming diseased. The early warning signs indicated the cells were headed for disease processes associated with cancer, hormone imbalance and Parkinson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s and Alzheimer\u2019s diseases.<\/p>\n

Animal tests conducted in the 1980s showed\u00a0BPA\u00a0to be safe in human food. Since then, however,\u00a0BPA\u00a0has become suspect at causing health problems, especially in unborn children, at very low concentrations. Says Dr Claude Reiss, president of Antidote Europe, \u201cwith more than 250 rat strains and 330 mouse strains to choose from, it is not surprising that the health authorities have been confused for the past 25 years and unbelievably slow to recognise the dangers to human health of\u00a0BPA. That is why we used human cells in our analysis\u201d.<\/p>\n

Notes to editors:<\/em><\/p>\n

A \u201cproof of principle\u201d as to the efficacy of toxicogenomics as a screening method has been demonstrated in a study by Antidote Europe on\u00a0several test chemicals<\/a>, including\u00a0BPA\u00a0and ingredients found in pesticides and cosmetics. The results have beenlogged in ArrayExpress<\/a>\u00a0in compliance with the\u00a0MIAME\u00a0(Minimum Information About a Microarray Experiment) database. Ref. E-TOXM-31 and A-MEXP-798.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
