The research is the first to link the chemical to obesity in children; previous studies reported links in adults and animals. It is unclear why BPA levels were so strongly associated with obesity in white children but not blacks or Hispanics. \u201cIt is possible that there is some genetic interaction that may be specific to the [white] population \u2026 but we don\u2019t know,\u201d said Dr. Leonardo Trasande of NYU School of Medicine. Traces of BPA \u2013 used in some canned food and beverages, paper receipts and dental sealants \u2013 are found in virtually every U.S. adult and child.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/iaomt.org\/bpa-linked-obesity-white-children\/\">BPA linked to obesity in white children | IAOMT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>from IAOMT International Association of Oral and Medical Toxicology<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: White children exposed to high levels of bisphenol A are five times more likely to be obese than children with low levels, according to&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,11],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1559"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1559\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thiscontemplativelife.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
