Heart fears over common chemical
plastic packaging
Bisphenol A is commonly used in food packaging

Higher levels of a chemical often found in plastic food and drink
packaging are associated with cardiovascular disease and diabetes, a
study has suggested.

The group with the highest levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in their urine
were found to be more than twice as likely to have diabetes or heart
disease.

But the Journal of the American Medical Association research did not
show that Bisphenol A caused the conditions.

And a UK toxicology expert stressed the study's findings were
"preliminary".
