My diagnosis with PCOS is what triggered us to become interested in hormone disrupting chemicals 6+ years ago. I know previous studies have linked BPA with central adiposity and insulin resistance in men. (and insulin resistance is often a hallmark of PCOS). Our thought here has been that our children already are predisposed to insulin resistance and don't need any more of a push in that direction, which is why I've been cautious about BPA since DS was born 6+ years ago.

I'm curious where the research on this will go.

OMG! Thanks for sharing, I'm sending this to SIL ASAP, she has PCOS, high testosterone levels and recently she was told she's insulin resistant.
