BPA and narrowed arteries: New study links plastics chemical with

coronary artery stenosis. <http://huff.to/QESBxT>

Bisphenol-A (BPA) --- the endocrine-disrupting chemical found in some

linings of food cans and plastics, which has been linked in animal

studies to cancer and fetal development problems --- is associated with

narrowed arteries, a new study suggests....

narrowing and 120 didn't have narrowed coronary arteries.

and increased risk for severe narrowing of the arteries...
