I recently read that many new parents are hunting for glass baby bottles. This is something that has rapidly increased due to the finding that some plastic baby bottles release bisphenol A when heated. Environment California has done research with animals (I despire testing on animals) and the findings have been alarming.
"Even at low levels, bisphenol A has been linked to abnormalities in the mammary and prostate glands and the eggs of laboratory animals, scientists say. Animal tests also show bisphenol A can speed up puberty and add to weight gain, and may cause changes that can lead to breast and prostate cancer." You can read the article in full here.
