According to “The Daily Green,” unpublished research suggests that sales receipts could be a surprisingly big source of bisphenol A (BPA) exposure to American consumers, according to John C.

Warner believes BPA might be absorbed through the skin, in a manner similar to birth control patches and other hormone-delivery medical treatments.
