It does have BPA in it. BPA acts as an estrogen like chemical!!! Want to know why western sperm counts and testosterone levels are lower than ever? It's from the estrogen like chemicals in the water, in plastics, and even in receipts. If you don't drink reverse osmosis water you are drinking estrogen. https://youtu.be/a1MsWUGkOFE https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141022143628.htm "BPA from thermal paper used in cash register receipts accounts for high levels of BPA in humans. Subjects studied showed a rapid increase of BPA in their blood after using a skin care product and then touching a store receipt with BPA."

Paper bad because it encourages non trackable transactions.

actually the ink has BPA and can be absorbed through your skin

So switch to thermal printers then. no more ink. Problem solved

The thermal paper has the BPA actually.

Except the real problem is tracking financial transactions.

The thermal paper is high in BPA, an estrogen like chemical. You absorb it through your skin and absorb more if you recently used lotion or washed your hands.
