You've read the heading, and I'm sure your wondering what is BPA? Or more to the point what is BPA free? Bisphenol A (BPA) is a controversial chemical that can be found in the lining of food cans, certain water bottles and more. Some researchers and scientists have linked the hormone-mimicking chemical to a number of issues including behavioral and developmental effects in kids.
A 2010 report from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) raised further concerns regarding exposure of fetuses, infants and young children. In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA as a toxic substance. In the Europe and Canada, BPA use is banned in baby bottles!
This is not a push to buy BPA free bottles, but we do have this blog to bring awareness to issues that we care about and explain things in a way that people understand.
Have you listened to Florence & The Machine below? Their amazing!
