"TORONTO -- A Health Canada study suggests most Canadians have the chemical bisphenol A in their urine and all have traces of lead in their blood.  The 2009-2011 report on environmental chemicals shows the plastics ingredient bisphenol A, or BPA, was detected in the urine of 95 per cent of Canadians aged three to 79.  Children aged three to five and six to 11 had the highest average concentration of BPA, while adults 60 to 79 had the lowest average level."
