You have probably heard about the problems in plastics, especially Bisephenol A, in baby bottles and toys. If you want to know why it’s bad, take a look at this new study that reaffirms an older study.

Plastic baby bottles are not good for your baby.

They leach the chemical bisphenol A which has been found to causes birth defects, low sperm count, hyperactivity,
early puberty, obesity, small testes size, and enlarged prostates in animals. In short, bisphenol A is a xeno-estrogon, which literally means “foreign or strange estrogen”.

The new study by Consumer Advocate group, Environment California shows that when heated, five of the most popular brands of polycarbonate — the clear, shatterproof plastic used in baby bottles — leached bisphenol A at
levels that have been found to cause harm in laboratory animals.

But more importantly, no one should be drinking out of plastic. The leaching chemicals aren’t good for you either. Plus, plastic is petroleum product, and dependence on petroleum isn’t good for the environment (or peace.) Plus, bottling water WASTES water and burns gas to deliver all the bottles to the stores and to your door. Just say no to drinking out of plastic. The best thing to do is to use flitered water that you store in glass containers (i bought some nice ones at Ikea). Or, you can used the stainless steel Kleen Kanteen as well
