BPA and Phthalate exposure from food packaging

“I am so glad I found the AntiCancer Lifestyle Program. This is an amazing idea and gift. Our son-in-law at 39 has glioblastoma. After surgery, chemo, and radiation we hope, no relapse. Hope, however, is not a plan. My wife and I are changing to help him change.”

“My patients respond to the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in a way I find unprecedented in 30 years of Radiation Oncology practice. It helps them feel that we are caring for them, and not just delivering cancer treatment.”

“If you are a Human Resources or wellness professional looking to take your employee health and well-being strategies to the next level, the Anticancer Lifestyle Program is unrivaled. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Offering this course to all of our employees really underscores how much we care about them and their loved ones.”

A study by Rudel et al, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, found that BPA and DEHP (phthalate) exposures were substantially reduced when participants’ diets were restricted to food with limited packaging.

BPA and phthalates, both potent endocrine (hormone) disruptors, are commonly used in plastics and resins for food packaging. Researchers measured the effects of plastic food packaging on the concentrations of these chemicals in the human body before, during, and after a “fresh foods” diet, meaning one devoid of plastic wrap and canned foods. They found that these chemicals were reduced by well over 50% within just three days when participants diets were restricted to foods with limited packaging.
