New Study Links Plastics To Heart Disease, Diabetes

fprintf writes "There have been a number of studies over the years, some of which have been debunked, linking plastics with human disease. Now British researchers have released a study again linking common plastics used in food/liquid storage with human disease."

Do you have any proof of this bias?

Straight from their own front page:

• Ninety Percent of Olympic Athletes Used Nutritional Supplements to Enhance Performance
• Criminals Who Eat Processed Foods Leave More Evidence Behind at Crime Scenes
• Media Quotes Vitamin B12 Deficiency Study to Attack Vegetarians, Vegans
• Yet More Pharmaceuticals Found in the Public Water Supply of U.S. Cities

Did Kevin Trudeau write any of those articles I posted?

Never said he did. I was merely pointing out a similarity between Natural News and Kevin Trudeau both claiming that "natural" remedies are more effective than man-made medicines (which are also natural).

Do you have any links or proof that he is providing miraculous cures?

Just a few. Like this one, this one and this one. So yes, I have proof he is providing miracle cures. That and his infomercials on which he peddles his book which has in its title, "Includes The Natural Cures For Over 50 Specific Diseases".

Good job at attacking a source you don't like instead of trying to prove anything they said wrong. Very intelligent!

I never said I didn't like the source. Some "natural" items can be very beneficial to certain people. However, claiming that ONLY "natural" products, such as supplements which are unregulated and don't have to detail what they actually contain or what effect they may have on people, is disingenuous and potentially harmful.

As far as proving them wrong, I don't need to prove them wrong because studies over the years have proven them wrong. Here is one article which discusses "natural" remedies, and this one which talks about Lycopene.

So yes, I was very intelligent to point out the bias of Natural News so people are aware of their bias. Whether people heed the warning is up to them but they have been warned.

From TFA
"At least from this study, we cannot draw any conclusion that bisphenol A causes any health effect. "

and:
"The researchers also cautioned that these findings are just the first step and more work is needed to determine if the chemical actually is a direct cause of disease."
