BPA Free - Why Now Why Not Before
As a parent, we all wanted the best for our child. Why NOW! until today!
I just don't understand some companies that have been making bottles for so many years and did they not know when they are manufacturing this bottle with this BPA does harm our little ones we love. I dare to say there is a few good brands like Avent and Dr. Brown is not yet BPA free.
If you find your existing bottles cracked, scratch or dented...do not use it anymore for the safety of your child, throw it away! Never even save it for the next child of yours. Read the instructions on the packing, do not just open and throw (which i believe most of us do)
Today it is about making $$$, technology improves but health safefy is neglected. Until something happen then only this companies will take immediate action
Just look at the dairy products from China before and now bottles from US and UK. Protect your child now. Don't just buy for the sake of the brand. We have to be a smarter consumer and as the choice is in our hand.
Bisphenol A, commonly abbreviated as BPA, is an organic compound with two phenol functional groups. It is a difunctional building block of several important polymers and polymer additives. With an annual production of 2–3 million tonnes, it is an important monomer in the production of polycarbonate.
Bisphenol A has low acute toxicity, with an oral LD50 of 3250 mg/kg in rats,[9] but it is an endocrine disruptor.[10][11] Low doses of bisphenol A can mimic the body's own hormones, possibly causing negative health effects.[12] There is thus concern that long term low dose exposure to bisphenol A may induce chronic toxicity in humans.[13][14][15]
