Bisphenol A / BPA , a problem?
Bisphenol A: How to reduce BPA exposure from food
I've often heard about it, but never gone out my way too much except I don't microwave or freeze things in plastic, though I never did much of that. A guy in this piece says he only uses plastic with the # 2 or 5 in the recycling designation. I was pleased to see that the plastic dishes that Trader Joe's sells their hummus in are #5. Pleased because they are of great size and durability to use for food storage. Smart marketing by Joe's. I buy that brand both because it's good and it's like free Tupperware thrown in. I drink water out of the #1 Crystal Geyser bottles all the time. I even re-use them which might not be a good idea. They have water purifying machines about the size of a coke machine at almost all the Latino groceries. Costs about 12 cents a bottle to refill and the water tastes way better than tap. Crystal Geyser claims their bottles are fine but of course, they would.

My F-I-L just retired from NIOSH, (I forget what branch, it was here in Cinti OH though...)
When the subject came up around our 3rd child- who was still newborn- he just shook his head and told us (his daughter and I) not to worry about it (ie- the BPA-filled baby bottles). I never probed him for the details though. -John

Maybe I should look for a stainless steel substitute. I know it will be a lot more expensive, but oh well.

Plastic problrms
The plastics contain bis-phenol and phthlates. They are endocrine disruptors. The body rapidly absorbs them and rapidly dissipates them.
The tend to feminize men and masculate woman, kinda of an organic complement to the policies of the left since the '70s. They are quite serious and need to eliminated.
