Several studies have found that BPA levels are significantly higher in women with PCOS

These studies do not establish that BPA actually causes insulin resistance, in either PCOS or diabetes, because it could be the case that the types of food and drinks that cause insulin resistance also happen to be the foods most contaminated with BPA.

BPA also reduces the production of another hormone, called adiponectin.43 Low levels of adiponectin are closely associated with insulin resistance.
