It's amazing what you find when researching. This morning I found this information on cats. The article talks about how cats can have thyroid problems and one possible cause is.....BPA!
The site states "Hyperthyroidism is the most common hormone abnormality in cats. It is very rare in dogs. It is a disease of older cats. The average age at which it is first diagnosed is 13. Nine out of ten cats that develop hyperthyroidism are over ten years old."
AND when talking about the cause:
"The second possible culprit is a chemical called bisphenol-A (BPA) which is used to coat the inside of cat food cans. We know from a 2000 EPA study that cats that eat canned foods – particularly those that have fish flavor, are more susceptible to hyperthyroidism."
Check out the article to find out more.
