Sex Problems in Men Linked to High BPA Levels
In our workplaces, we may have more to worry about than just our deadlines, especially if you work around chemicals. It has been found that workers who are exposed to very high levels of the chemical bisphenol A (BPA) were four to seven times more likely to report sexual function difficulties than were the workers with no occupational exposure to BPA. Earlier studies have linked exposure to BPA to reproduction problems in animals, however, this is the first five-year study to do so in humans. There is now evidence that BPA has harmful effects on the male reproductive system.

Childhood Depression, Anxiety Tied to Pain in Adulthood
Children who experience abuse or other adversities and develop mental health disorders are at increased risk for chronic physical problems when they're adults, according to a new study.

The team looked at anxiety disorders and depression in children and at the following childhood adversities: abuse, neglect, loss of a parent through death or other causes, divorce, parental substance abuse, parental criminal behavior, family violence and being poor.
