At long last, we have an extremely high-quality study showing that we DO absorb high amounts of BPA from beverages in cans. And that the BPA causes a relatively rapid increase in blood pressure. Don’t miss the fundamentals in your session work with clients/patients. Encourage them to eat and drink fresh foods and beverages or those stored in glass (which is essentially inert). This study showed that only a single exposure has a measurable effect on blood pressure, so imagine the impact of sustained, daily intake!?! In particular, think about your clients who consume beer – or even seltzer water – in cans. http://www.naturalmedicinejournal.com/journal/2015-02/bisphenol-beverage-containers-may-raise-blood-pressure .
I hope this quick clinical tip serves you and your patients and clients.
Warmly,
