While many manufacturers have stopped using Bisphenol A (BPA) in plastic bottles, the compound can be found in thousands of consumer products - making the hormone-altering chemical impossible to eliminate completely from the environment and diet. Clinical Research Dietitian Sarah Rusnak of The Ohio State University Clinical Research Center Bionutrition Team is available to talk about unexpected sources of the BPA and how consumers can find BPA-free foods and kitchenware.
As a research dietitian Sarah monitors, modifies, and controls dietary factors in human clinical trials so that investigators get accurate results on the impact on everything from new drugs to medical techniques to environmental toxins.
She is also an expert in how technology and informatics are changing the way nutrition is taught, studied and delivered.
