Plastic, it’s great isn’t it? We all eat out of it, drink out of it, let our kids play with it, chew on it. It is everywhere. Well,…all plastics are Not created equal.
Plastic provides us with an affordable convenience. Only recently have we discovered that the hidden cost may be our health. Plastics, which are used a lot for our food storage, cooking, baby bottles, and sport water bottles, have the potential to negatively affect health in certain applications.
Some petroleum-based plastics leach harmful chemical (BPA) into foods and drinks, especially when plastic comes in contact with oily or fatty foods, during heating and microwaving, as a result of harsh cleaners, and when exposed to excessive moisture. For instance heating up a baby bottle or your bottled water sitting in the sun. But we can all make safe choices by purchasing BPA free products.
