Heart disease is highest in Women and this statistic is increasing faster and in younger women over the past 20 years!! I think it has something to do with all of the artificial estrogen contaminating our food, water and even air! The endocrine disrupters contaminating our environment are to blame for this. And the reason it is more in women than men, heart disease and death, because women already have estrogen in our bodies and young women have a lot of it! So the extra (artificial) estrogen coming into womens bodies by way of plastics leaching BPAs into their food, and pesticides leaching into the drinking water... voila increase in heart disease in women! Much different than what the contamination does to men, shrinks testicles, decreases testosterone and this stuff even changes frogs from male to female!!!! Watch as Barbara Streisand and some Heart Specialist wonder what could be causing this alarming statistic!!!! >>>> BPA can affect the hearts of women, can permanently damage the DNA of mice, and appears to be entering the human body from a variety of unknown sources.[177][178] The first large study of health effects on humans associated with bisphenol A exposure was published in September 2008 by Iain Lang and colleagues in the Journal of the American Medical Association.[179][180] The cross-sectional study of almost 1,500 people assessed exposure to bisphenol A by looking at levels of the chemical in urine. The authors found that higher bisphenol A levels were significantly associated with heart disease, diabetes, and abnormally high levels of certain liver enzymes. An editorial in the same issue concludes: Based on this background information, the study by Lang et al,1 while preliminary with regard to these diseases in humans, should spur US regulatory agencies to follow the recent action taken by Canadian regulatory agencies, which have declared BPA a toxic chemical requiring aggressive action to limit human and environmental exposures.4 Alternatively, Congressional action could follow the precedent set with the recent passage of federal legislation designed to limit exposures to another family of compounds, phthalates, also used in plastic. Like BPA,5 phthalates are detectable in virtually everyone in the United States.6 This bill moves US policy closer to the European model, in which industry must provide data on the safety of a chemical before it can be used in products.[88][181] A similar study performed by the same group in 2010 confirmed, despite of lower concentrations of BPA in the second study sample, an associated increased risk for heart disease but not for diabetes or liver enzymes. Patients with the highest levels of BPA in their urine carried a 33% increased risk of coronary heart disease.[182] In 2012, David Melzer and colleagues also published a correlation between BPA levels in urine and heart disease. BPA exposure was higher in those with severe coronary artery stenoses compared to those with no vessel disease.[183] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisphenol_A#Heart_disease
