DID YOU KNOW THERE IS VENOM IN YOUR RECEIPTS !!

Sales is an integral aspect of almost every business and when a sale is made for a product or a service, in most cases there is an exchange of a paper bill too.

From the manager/waiter/other employees to the customer and from there to an unpredictable carrier which may be a dustbin or another person. This paper bill is coated with a chemical read toxin called Bisphenol A (BPA) or its chemical cousin, Bisphenol S (BPS).

Bisphenol A is an organic synthetic compound, it is mainly used to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins, both BPA and BPS are high-performing materials that have been increasingly used for about five decades in a wide range of consumer and industrial applications. The only argument because of which this toxin is used in the manufacturing of bills and plastic is that it performs well and has a lower cost.

BPA is majorly present in plastic bottles and canned foods but the hazard it carries when it comes in contact with the skin is much more dangerous. Ingested BPA is rapidly metabolized in the liver and quickly excreted. But BPA absorbed through the skin is probably metabolized much less efficiently, which could lead to a longer and more toxic exposure.

BPA affects your health in more ways than one. The toxic chemical has been linked to causing reproductive, immunity, and neurological problems, as well as an increased likelihood of Alzheimer’s, childhood asthma, metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. It can imitate the body’s hormones, and it can interfere with the production, secretion, transport, action, function, and elimination of natural hormones. BPA can behave in a similar way to estrogen and other hormones in the human body.

Many manufactures claim to substitute BPA but the products which come labeled BPA free contain BPS which is equally dangerous. Ingestion of this toxin lowers the risk of harm by the metabolism process but the entry of BPA through thermal paper bills into your skin is of high risk.
