The peer-reviewed report [https://t.co/EwP1YcKzoT] is OPEN ACCESS. Evidently SOME children with autism or ADHD can't use the FASTEST pathway to clear BPA from their bodies, which means its toxicity MAY be PARTLY responsible for these "diseases".

Used in products like plastic water bottles, plastic food packaging, and food can linings. Due to health concerns, many products are now “BPA-free,” BPA has largely been replaced with chemicals that may have similar effects. Neurodevelopmental disorders https://t.co/6zzkLTe3Jb

Who are the real victims of the unrepentant use of plasticizers? Autistic folks. Friend of mine just passed me a paper that outlines that one thing all ASD folks have in common is a weakness to the digestion and elimination of plasticizers once absorbed. https://t.co/v8H6ZxOgZt

- بین اوتیسم و بیش‌فعالی با بیسفنول ای (که در خیلی از محصولات پلاستیکی هست) ارتباط وجود داره. کودکان مبتلا نمی‌تونند به خوبی بقیه‌ی بچه‌ها این ماده رو دفع کنند. البته این ارتباط چیز خاصی رو ثابت نمی‌کنه و باید همراه با تحقیقات دیگه بهش نگاه کرد. https://t.co/Bn3jxHhf4u

“ASD and ADHD are clinically and metabolically different but share a reduction in the efficiency of detoxification for both BPA and DEHP with the reductions for BPA being statistically significant.” https://t.co/1g2kyD7kdX if this holds up, new BPA regs are likely to follow.
