BPA... Bisphenol A has been in commercial use since 1957.

It's used to make certain plastics and epoxy resins. BPA-based plastic is clear and tough,
and is made into a variety of common consumer goods, such as baby and water bottles.

Aside from the direct use during an infant's early life...
Epoxy resins containing BPA are used to line water pipes and as coatings on the inside of many food and beverage cans.

The obvious "rise" of the LGBT community over the last 25 plus years...
Gives rise to the idea that BPA use since 1957 may be a huge contributor to this 'phenomenon'...

I'm not saying there have never been an LGBT community... Quite the contrary.
I'm saying there has definitely been an obvious increase in numbers.

SO...

Has our Plastics Dependant Society brought this on ourselves ???

Time to go back to a NON Plastics environment... I do believe.
And this comes from someone who worked within the 'Plastics Industry' for near on 35 years.

    First you would need to know the percentage of the human population that is LGBT over an extended period of centuries prior to your 1957 plastics event. Then compare that to the precentage today. Then you would have to establish a cause and effect relationship between Bispherol A and LGBT. Given that it has only been recently in this culture that same sex relationships have been open I would say the liklihood of comming up with stastistically significant data would be so remote as to make this look like a witchhunt.

    Add in items made in China, and I think you have a winner, maybe a movement!

    Not to highjack your thread, but it is darn hard to find some things not made in Asia. TV for example. Even the Chinese companies make them in China now. Even Carhart has its stuff made in the third world.



    And now we return this thread to plastics and Bisphenol A.
