10 male volunteers ate warmed tomato soup in which researchers had placed a traceable form of BPA. They took multiple blood and urine samples over a 24 hour period.
The team found that coating the mouth in this way did not lead to higher levels of the active form of BPA in blood. As in all human studies to date, the body inactivated 998 out of every 1000 BPA molecules by the time BPA entered the bloodstream.
"Just as important, we confirmed that there is no merit to hypotheses that BPA accumulates in humans. The entire dose of BPA was eliminated in urine within 24 hours, with no evidence of accumulation," said Teeguarden.

During high dietary exposures, BPA concentrations in serum were undetectable in 83% of the 320 samples collected and less than the limit of detection in all samples.

But what kind of damage could it do to the body within the 24 hours it does travel through le corps?
