(12-01-11) Could this be Why Many Women are Infertile?

Bisphenol A (BPA), which is a chemical used to harden plastic and line food
containers, may be harming women's eggs.

Evidence links exposure to the chemical to a lower quality among eggs
retrieved for in vitro fertilization. A study found that as blood levels of BPA
in the women studied doubled, the percentage of eggs fertilized normally
declined by 50 percent.

UPI reports:

"The researchers noted BPA -- found in the urine of nearly everyone tested in
a 2004 U.S. analysis -- is an endocrine disruptor that either mimics or blocks
body hormones."
