Hey, and welcome to the short stuff.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck and Jerry sitting in for Dave.

So this is short stuff about the beware of the BPAs.

That's right.

We're talking about BPAs, specifically, well, BPA, which is, how do you pronounce that, Josh?

I'm going with bisphenol or bisphenol A.

Bisphenol A. There are other bisphenols, apparently, which I didn't know. And apparently, you know, none of these are good for you, even though the FDA is like,

it's fine in the amounts that you're getting it. Stop being so uptight, everybody. Yeah,

they're used in all sorts of plastics, polycarbonate in particular, but that stuff shows up

everywhere. It can be in the stuff that lines tin cans.

It can be in your dental work.

It can be in contact lens storage containers.

Baby bottles used to be.

I don't think it is anymore.

But it was everywhere.

It's also now still today,

the greatest exposure that people get on average is from holding receipts, thermal paper receipts.

Oh, interesting.

Those are coated with BPA. So just be aware of that. I saw a study that said just holding one for 10 seconds exposed you to unsafe levels of BPA.

You know, many years ago when we lived in Los Angeles, and it's the jokes, Emily still laughs
