In 1992, Dr. David Feldman almost accidentally discovered that bisphenol A had migrated from his polycarbonate test tubes into a test specimen and appeared to be mimicking estrogen. In the years since, and especially recently with a new series of bans, BPA, and the PC it’s contained in, has sparked a debate on the chemical’s safety. Studying estrogen action in the early 1990s, David Feldman, a medical doctor, and his team were surprised to see estrogenic activity that developed in cultures of yeast without added hormone or precursors. After a series of experiments, the researchers discovered that the estrogenic activity wasn’t coming from the yeast that they were testing but rather from the polycarbonate (PC) flasks that they were using to grow the yeast.
