"Women exposed to higher levels of bisphenol A and certain phthalates may gain slightly more weight over time, according to new research. "We found that these chemicals were associated with a small weight gain, though their contribution may be minor compared with other factors, such as diet and smoking," said Dr. Qi Sun, a Harvard School of Public Health professor who was senior author of the study."
