Is your baby's plastic bottle safe?
After hearing about potential developmental and reproductive problems associated with Bisphenol A (BPA)—a chemical that can leach out of hard, clear plastic containers such as a sippy cup—many parents are switching to alternatives.
Although no study has yet revealed direct BPA impact on humans, lab tests on rodents have shown adverse reproductive and developmental effects, such as onset of Type 2 diabetes or obesity.
That's according to William Toscano (pictured), head of environmental health sciences at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
