Bisphenol-A (BPA) is a chemical compound found in some hard, clear, lightweight plastics and resins. It’s used in the production of various types of food and drink containers, CDs, electronics and automobile parts, and as a liner in some metal cans. Animal studies suggest that, once ingested, BPA may imitate estrogen and other hormones, according to the National Institutes of Health.
