Study: Chemicals in dental fillings have negative effect on child behavior
Posted Tuesday, July 17th 2012 @ 10am
Forget Coca Cola, chemicals found in certain dental fillings could be making naughty children act out, a new study claims.
Researchers at New England Research Institutes looked at 534 children who had fillings for at least two cavities, examining their behaviour before and five years after getting the dental treatment.
The findings show kids with a high number of fillings made from the controversial plastics chemical bisphenol-A or BPA had more behavioural problems than children with fewer of the plastic fillings.
