(NaturalNews) Results from a five-year trial on the effects of bisphenol-A (BPA) in human males has revealed that the popular plastics chemical destroys sperm. One of the few BPA studies involving humans, the trial sheds more light on the obvious harm BPA causes on male reproduction, and the need to immediately remove the chemical from from all products.
"This study counters the argument that only highly exposed populations are affected," explained Dr. De-Kun Li, author of the study and reproductive and perinatal epidemiologist at Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research in Oakland, Calif. "You can be exposed from the workplace. You can be exposed from consumer products. It doesn't really matter. Ultimately it will reflect in your urine."
Numerous other studies have found that BPA causes significant bodily harm. Back in August, a study in the journal
Biology of Reproduction found that BPA causes genetic defects (

In the recent study, data collected from Chinese workers exposed to BPA exhibited a clear connection between even very low levels of BPA and sperm destruction. BPA exposure resulted in a 300 percent increased risk of low sperm concentration and low sperm vitality compared to those not exposed. Exposure also resulted in a 400 percent increased risk of reduced sperm count and twice the likelihood of decreased sperm motility.
"Our study shows that
BPA could lead to pathological changes to human organs -- semen quality, in this case," explained Li to LiveScience. "In addition, this new finding of the detrimental effect of BPA exposure on semen quality raises the bar of BPA toxicity."
