Say No To Cash Register Receipts

Did you know that touching a cash register receipt can increase the absorption of the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA? BPA is an endocrine disruptor (chemicals that may interfere with the body’s endocrine system), linked to developmental problems in children, and increase the risk for cancer, obesity, diabetes and heart disease in adults. Next time the cashier ask if you want your receipt, just say “No thanks!”
