Does Bisphenol A (BPA) Exposure Cause Human Diseases?
Summary
This review examined whether bisphenol A exposure directly causes human diseases or whether elevated BPA levels are simply a marker of other unhealthy behaviors. The evidence reviewed supports the indirect marker hypothesis, suggesting that higher BPA levels may reflect lifestyle factors like processed food consumption rather than BPA itself causing disease. The findings highlight the importance of distinguishing correlation from causation in environmental health research.
A review of the existing literature supports the indirect 'marker' hypothesis over the 'direct' hypothesis.
