But a new study warns that might not be the case<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Villala\u00edn, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology, used computer simulations to observe how BPA, BPF and BPS interact with cell membranes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Understanding how these bisphenols interact with cell membranes is critical to understanding how they impact human health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Cell membranes are the protective barriers that surround human cells. They control which chemicals can move in and out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">When toxic chemicals &#8211; like BPA &#8211; infiltrate these membranes, they can wreak havoc the health and functioning of cells.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Villala\u00edn simulated 12 different systems, each with different amounts and arrangements of these chemicals as well as a modelled cell membrane designed with lifelike complexity.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">He ran each simulation for\u00a01,000 nanoseconds. During this time, he tracked the movements of every molecule and how they interacted with each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This allowed him to measure where the bisphenols positioned themselves, how they affected membrane fluidity and whether they formed clusters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\" style=\"\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-bad14252f1b098f1\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/21\/19\/92344685-14111061-Two_of_the_most_widely_used_alternatives_bisphenol_S_BPS_and_bis-a-18_1732216845529.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Two of the most widely-used alternatives - bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) - actually behave almost identically to the hazardous chemical they were designed to replace\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/> <\/div>\n<p> <noscript> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-bad14252f1b098f1\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2024\/11\/21\/19\/92344685-14111061-Two_of_the_most_widely_used_alternatives_bisphenol_S_BPS_and_bis-a-18_1732216845529.jpg\" height=\"476\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Two of the most widely-used alternatives - bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) - actually behave almost identically to the hazardous chemical they were designed to replace\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" \/> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Two of the most widely-used alternatives &#8211; bisphenol S (BPS) and bisphenol F (BPF) &#8211; actually behave almost identically to the hazardous chemical they were designed to replace<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The study revealed striking similarities between how BPA, BPF and BPS interacted with the modelled cell membranes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Villala\u00edn published his findings in the <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2039-4713\/14\/3\/68\">Journal of Xenobiotics<\/a> in September.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">All three chemicals gravitated to the same location just beneath the membrane&#8217;s surface &#8211; roughly the width of a few atoms deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">They also all made the membranes more fluid, and formed clusters when present at higher concentrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">That clustering behavior is particularly concerning because it could affect cellular function.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Typically, the human body flushes out bisphenols within 24 to 48 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Because these chemicals are present in so many of the products people use day to day, the human body is constantly exposed to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Long-term exposure can therefore cause these toxic chemicals to build up in organs, tissues and cells.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Since bisphenols tend to accumulate in the lipid phase [the part of the cell membrane where molecules responsible for transporting substances and chemical signals into and out of cells are located], the concentration of bisphenols found in biological membranes can be significant,&#8217; Villala\u00edn said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His study adds to a growing body of evidence that suggests these chemicals might be &#8216;regrettable substitutions.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But this research does not provide direct evidence of the harmful effects of BPF and BPS in humans, even through their identical behavior to BPA is a strong indicator that these three chemicals should also have identical health impacts.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Therefore,\u00a0Villala\u00edn&#8217;s study calls for further investigation of these alternative chemicals in order to gain a better understanding of their impact on human health.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-14111061\/bpa-free-water-bottles-linked-fertility-issues-NEW.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts have long touted BPA-free plastic water bottles as safer for human health, but a new study warns that might not be the case.\u00a0 BPA &#8211;
