This is one of the first references I've seen on BPA (bisphenol-A) that shows links to heart disease and diabetes. BPA has long been thought to cause endocrine disruption, although endocrine disruption reaching into new diseases in addition to cancer may be new info to the public. BPA's already banned in Canada. This is promting the FDA to reconsider it's position that BPA levels and exposure are believed to be safe.
NPR's Allison Aubrey discusses on today's All Things Considered.
Wikipedia covers BPA chemistry and suspected toxicity in depth.
