Biphenol A in Baby Bottles Damages Brain, Reproductive System

Recommended Posts

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 <_<

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.

the price is cheap but does it have anti-colic function?

errr, not sure leh, got to ask my friend. But think my son ok cause so far he's been using the normal brand of bottles, no anti-colic. He doesn't like Avent brand cause it's wide neck.

I found Nuby brand non-drip milk bottle with BPA-free label @ Mothercare, 1Utama. Price is RM17.90, much cheaper than MAM. Mommies can consider this as alternative.

BPA FREE means what? Free doesnt mean Not containing BPA at all? i'm using avent and wonder

whether is it still safe to use it?

I would take 'Free' = 'not containing' wor isnt it ? :unsure: .. 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 :rolleyes:
