Green Treehouse

A new study which appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds that “people with high amounts of bisphenol A in their urine were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes or heart disease.”

These health findings add to emerging worries about bisphenol A (BPA), the chemical which is found in plastics including baby bottles, food storage containers and polycarbonate water bottles. Recent studies have suggested links between BPA exposure and effects on brain development and behavior.

Baby product manufacturers, such as BornFree, have begun to produce BPA Free Products. Parents concerned about bisphenol A exposure can minimize plastic risks by opting for products marked “BPA Free” and by avoiding microwaving plastic food containers or washing them with harsh detergents.
