“Environmental Health News” reports new scientific research finds rats exposed to bisphenol A (BPA) early in life develop symptoms resembling polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a leading cause of infertility in women. This animal study is among the first to show that early exposure to BPA can cause symptoms similar to PCOS in adulthood. BPA reportedly disrupts hormonal activity and has been shown to interfere with the normal development and function of the reproductive system.
