Drinking From Plastic Bottles Or Cups Gives Migraine Attack, Says Study

Drinking water directly from plastic cups or bottles could be giving millions of people around the world a serious headache. New research has confirmed that a chemical in synthetic packaging triggers migraines. Bisphenol A (BPA) which has been linked to obesity, infertility and heart attacks has now been confirmed through toxicological studies to be a serious trigger for a serious prolonged bout of migraine. Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center reported a 24% increased risk for overall cardiovascular disease in men who experienced migraines compared to those who did not including a 42% increase in heart attack risk. The findings suggest that migraine sufferers might be able to reduce the frequency and severity of their headaches by changing their habits.
