Bisphenol A is a chemical used in the production of plastics. It is used to provide a lightweight toughness to polycarbonate plastic, resulting in a durable and clear-surfaced product. It is used to make many common products, including baby bottles and plastic water bottles.
 
BPA has been used in the production of plastics for more than fifty years. However, researchers noticed that BPA had the tendency to leech from the plastic when heated. Now consider this: baby bottles are heated continuously for sterilization. Often we do not think twice about reusing plastic bottles in the interest of economy and portability. Over the course of our lives, how much BPA may have leeched into us?
The Effects of Bhisphenol A
During the 1930s, evidence began to surface that Bhispenol A has endocrine disrupting properties. The first tests on rats showed that it caused hormonal disorders in rats; the stage for the worst impact appears to be early development years. This selective study from the Environmental Working Group shows:

Bhispenol A can mimic the body’s own hormones even at low doses. Let us think: low doses can cause issues, and how much Bhispenol A may have contaminated the liquid your baby bottles contain? The US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention explains, “Infants fed formula from polycarbonate bottles can consume up to 13 micrograms of bisphenol A per kg of body weight per day”.
No wonder that in 2008, Canada banned all Bhispenol-A products, and in June 2009 the FDA has issued a statement that it will look into phasing out products containing BPA.
This is a risk that parents and infants shouldn’t have to take. Choosing plastics free of Bhispenol-A is the first step to ensuring your child’s health is not compromised.
