It is the latest research to question the health safety of the hormone-changing compound bisphenol-A, or BPA.

Experts say that reduced levels of the hormone can bring a host of other negative consequences for young men, including reduced libido and poor reproduction. They can fail to build enough strength through muscle mass and bone density, leading to low energy levels, poor concentration and fatigue.
