High levels of bisphenol A  –also known as BPA—in your urine significantly increases your risk of developing type 2 diabetes, a study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism reports.

BPA is a chemical commonly used in hard plastic containers, particularly water bottles. In this study of 4,000 adults, those with high BPA levels had a 13% risk of type 2 diabetes –compared with only 8% in those with low levels of BPA.

The researchers note that BPA resembles the hormone estrogen and that high levels may promote weight gain and interfere with insulin metabolism.
