eNews2.0: "Six makers of baby bottles in the U.S. announced their decision to remove the controversial chemical from their products. The decision was taken after attorneys general from Connecticut, Delaware and New Jersey sent letters last October to 11 companies, asking them to stop using the chemical, which can alter the normal activity of estrogen.
In an attempt to stop the use of baby bottle chemical, some companies have decided to make bisphenol A-free alternatives, including old-fashioned glass baby bottles.
Recent studies have shown that BPA, a synthetic hormone similar to estrogen, can interfere with how the body absorbs the natural hormone estrogen, which is needed in the development of young bodies. The chemical appears to accelerate puberty and pose a cancer risk. Also, the chemical has been tied to higher risk for heart disease and diabetes."
