BPA-What is it?

nie ada a few aricles about BPA..ummi google dari www.momknowsbest.com
tak salah ummi avent dh ada free BPA bottle..last week gi tgk kan manjaku seremban mcm dh ada tp mcm ingat2 lupa la...

BPA is an abbreviation for Bisphenol-A. BPA is an ‘ingredient’ used in the chemical compound that lines the inside of food containers such as canned goods and cartons for liquids like milk and juice. It also is the major building block in Polycarbonate plastic. Plastics with the number 7 on the bottom of the container.

How Does it affect me?
BPA acts as an environmental estrogen and once it is ingested it can disrupt proper hormone functioning, alter genes and interferes with normal physical and behavioral development.

Products to stay away from
Hard clear plastic, usually indicated as a number 7 plastic on the bottom, that contains BPA.
All plastic numbered 3 and 6. Number 3 (PVC) and Number 6 (Polystyrene) are also known to leach harmful chemicals
Canned foods, especially canned formula, that are lined with BPA
Plastic toys
