This time industrial chemical Bisphenol-A has been linked to <a href=\"http:\/\/issels.com\/Testimonials.aspx#WD120605\">prostate cancer<\/a>. Two years ago, fear about BPA\u2019s effect on infants and young children caused the Food and Drug Administration to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2012\/07\/18\/science\/fda-bans-bpa-from-baby-bottles-and-sippy-cups.html?_r=0\">ban its use in baby bottles<\/a>, infant formula packaging and children\u2019s cups. However, the agency ruled there was not enough scientific evidence to ban BPA\u2019s use in food packaging. Since then, despite public demands and introduction of several bills, Congress has failed to pass legislation banning BPA in food packaging.<\/p>\n<p><b>Prostate Cancer Danger<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Already associated with breast cancer, diabetes, obesity and hormonal abnormalities in children, BPA, which mimics estrogen when it enters the human body, has now been linked to prostate cancer. Researchers at the Cincinnati Cancer Center found that men with prostate cancer exhibited BPA levels in their urine that were two to four times greater than men who were cancer free. More importantly, BPA levels were highest in younger men under 40 who are typically at lower risk of developing prostate cancer. In animal research, BPA has triggered prostate tumor development and growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBPA may potentially contribute to either the development or progression of prostate cancer, or the BPA is more predictive of cancer,\u201d study leader Dr. Shuk-mei Ho told <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/bpa-levels-higher-men-prostate-cancer-study-230727\"><i>Newsweek<\/i><\/a>. Noting that the Cincinnati study was small in scope, Ho said immediate, larger studies are needed.<\/p>\n<p><b>Chelation Therapy Removes Toxins<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When integrated into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/default.aspx\">Issels\u2019 integrative immunotherapy<\/a> core program, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.issels.com\/treatment\/chelation.aspx\">chelation therapy<\/a> may aid treatment of BPA-linked prostate cancer.
