19 Feb 2020 --- Bisphenol A (BPA)-free plastic products could negatively affect both a mother’s placenta and potentially the development of a baby’s brain. This is the conclusion of a new mice study led by the University of Missouri in the US, which highlights that chemical BPA-alternatives, such as Bisphenol S (BPS), are unsafe for humans. This research comes on the heels of precedent studies flagging how exposure to BPS can pose health hazards equally as concerning as BPA.
