hi I'm certified nutritionist Mira Calton
and I'm doctor Jayson Calton and together we are the founders a Calton Nutrition
and the authors of Rich Food Poor food and Naked Calories
We are also the columnist for First For Women magazine. we answered your nutritional
questions in every issue of worries solved column
every Monday will post amore in-depth video answer
to one of the questions that we featured in the column so, what do you say lets
just jump right in and
get started this week's question comes from the Sept 2nd
issue of first for women magazine and reads a friend said toxins in my
disposable water bottles causes weight gain
isn't that only if the plastic is heated? great question many plastic
bottles contain a toxin called
bisphenol A or BPA that can leach into the water even if the plastic isn't heated
in fact harvard researchers found that people who regularly drink cold water
from bottles containing BPA
had significant increase in the levels up these toxins
after only one week this a problem because evidence suggests that ingesting
even a tiny amount of BPA
disrupts the endocrine system triggering hormonal imbalances that slow metabolism
and promote weight gain
okay so in our book Rich Food Poor Food we also highlight
that canned foods are often linedwith this same BPA that is why
it is really important to look for cans labeled as the BPA free
you can be assured that canned item we chose
as a rich food in our book is most certainly BPA free
BPA is especially good at leaching into canned foods that are acidic
salty or fatty
like coconut oil, coconut milk, tomatoes, canned fish soup and vegetables
and it isnt just weight gain they have to be worried about according to the
Environmental Working Group it's also
linked to impaired brain function cancer cardiovascular system damage an adult
onset diabetes
if you're in a pinch look for a water bottle that does not have the three or
seven
in the recycle symbol on the bottom or better yet bring your own water bottles
with you made out of either BPA free plastic or stainless steel that's what
we do.
so regardless if you say bisphenol like American or Bisphenol like they do
in the UK
or just plain old BPA to keep things simple the take awayis Just Diss the BISS
