hylim007 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2008 A study has once again reminded us that bisphenol A, a toxic chemical in plastics used in transparent baby bottles and food containers may cause damage to the brain and reproductive systems.Biphenol A is similar to the sex hormone estradiol. It has been proven in animal studies that biphenol A can cause brain damage, hyperactivity, abnormal sexual behavior, early puberty, and disrupted reproductive cycles, among other things.The study reviewed 115 research papers on the effect of low-doses of biphenol A. Most of these studies were conducted on mice and rats.Biphenol A can be released from plastic into food when heated, washed, or exposed to acidic foods.The study appeared in Environmental Health Perspectives, published by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.Just to share. Heard friend saying US or don't know which country is recalling all those BPA products from market. We at M'sia still blur blur <_< Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2008 US companies are actually recalling some of their own stuff and making new BPA free products.There are still a lot of companies that are selling items with BPA in them, but nothing that is supposed to be used repeatedly (like baby food containers). Those items are supposedly "fine". It's the repeated usage that causes the BPA to be released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cutiepiggie 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 I have a question here. BPA FREE means what? Free doesnt mean Not containing BPA at all? i'm using avent and wonderwhether is it still safe to use it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XxX 0 Report post Posted November 20, 2008 BPA FREE means what? Free doesnt mean Not containing BPA at all? i'm using avent and wonderwhether is it still safe to use it?I would take 'Free' = 'not containing' wor isnt it ? .. given that there is limited version of BPA free bottle here AND your baby already got used to a certain brand of teats, what choice do you have ? <_< ..Anyway anyone going to Hong Kong/Taiwan i can tumpang to buy Dr. Brown PES do let me know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
