Beware the junk science. Saw this earlier and there are several red lights. Advocacy <> Science. Grain of salt ya know? Just sayin.

This is a pretty good study:

Any estrogen mimic, particularly during pregnancy, has long term consequences for the germline. Multigenerational effects in fact. Epigenetics is much bad mojo to mess up.

The difference between 'junk science' and real science is clearly illustrated in the article (either you didn't read it or you did and do not get it).

When the authors offer many cautions about their own study and point out the shortcomings, it is good science and up to community standards.

And, as they importantly point out with an illustrative story about ice cream, association does NOT mean causality; however, it can point one in the direction of truth (although not always).

At any rate, there is a large body of data which points to BPA as a bad actor and you might read a bit more about it. For example, here, here and here.
