BPA in question

Lately, everywhere on the web, in magazines for children, on television talking about baby bottles dangerous to our babies. Canada is the first country to set foot in the flat since last October to ban the sale of baby bottles and other pollutants childcare articles intended for feeding toddlers. What

that BPA?

Initially, BPA has been studied as a synthetic estrogen, is a medication that can compensate for deficits in female hormone. It is now considered an endocrine disruptor, including potentially dangerous to the fetus and young children, as well as certain pesticides or phthalates. According to several studies, fetal exposure to BPA in mice disrupts neuronal development and that of the breast.

Why toxic?

Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a chemical that enters into the composition polycarbonate, a hard plastic and epoxy resins, often found in paints and adhesives. BPA is found especially in the rigid food containers and bottles in a large majority of plastic baby bottles, and in the lining of cans and cans. Is its ability to migrate out of plastic that worries scientists.

The bottles are mostly plastic and more particularly polycarbonate - the symbol of recovery 7 or PC on the bottom of the bibs, water bottles and other plastic dishes -. This frees up a toxic polycarbonate, the bisphenol A (BPA), when heating the bottle. The latter contaminates the milk and thus poisons the baby. Plus the bottle is old, scratched, damaged ... more toxic it is!

The consequences of bisphenol A (or BPA):

Bisphenol A is mistaken for a female sex hormone, estrogen, and disrupt the hormone system.

Bisphenol A may have various adverse effects such as mammary gland tumors, cancer, behavioral disorders, miscarriages, obesity, hyperactivity ... Nothing much to get excited!
