Environmental Working Group talk about BPA
We found this really interesting article written by the Environmental Working Group in relation to BPA found in baby formula and baby bottles.
Leading brands of baby formula are being sold in cans lined with BPA, which is a little frightening. A lot of canned food you buy at the supermarket in general also contains BPA in the canned linings.
“The chemical is bisphenol A, or BPA, a component of the plastic epoxy resins used to line metal food cans. Dozens of laboratory studies show that BPA affects the developing brain and reproductive systems of animals exposed to low doses during pregnancy and early life. BPA has recently raised concerns from 2 separate expert panels of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), with 1 group of scientists warning that human exposures to BPA are already at or above the levels that harm animals and another expressing concern about impacts of BPA on infants’ brains and behavior.”
