The prevalence of obesity is, worldwide, in wide intensification. This increase stimulates the search for new hypotheses that explain the genesis of the metabolic syndrome. This article seeks to clarify the obesogenic hypothesis of bisphenol A (BPA), based on its endocrine disrupting potential. Methodology: For the development of the present study, the Scopus and PubMed databases were used, from descriptors generated by the DeCS: Endocrine Disruptors; Foods; Obesity; Bisphenol A and its correspondents in English. Randomized and controlled trials were considered eligible, focusing on publications in English and Portuguese. The survey was conducted on April 11, 2017, with publications of the last five years being leaked. Based on this, 87 articles were obtained and, from the reading of the title and its abstracts, 26 publications were selected. After the complete reading of the 26 articles selected, 18 articles were obtained that served as a basis for this bibliographic review. Bisphenol A appears as an important agent that causes obesity in the contemporary world, interfering in the signaling mechanism of the endocrine system, being its high exposure linked to many of the habits present in the current context. Conclusion: Based on the possible consequences of bisphenol A, the reduction of human exposure to the compound should be considered. Based on this, alternatives to BPA in the production of industrial plastic polymers have to be considered since increased exposure to the endocrine disruptor is closely related to industrial production.
