Solution

Yes in the research it is established that Bis Phenol A commonly found in plastics can bind with intentines and affect the gastro intestinal function.
The second worst problem of BPA is it can mimick (or function same as ) oestrogen (female reproductive harmone). This will disturb the reproducting mechanism of female mice and may function as genetic deciding factor. It may also affect other parts of body like growth of organs and mental stress which are also associated with oaestrogen.
