I just read on Enviroblog that every formula manufacturer in the U.S. puts baby formula into cans lined with bisphenol-A.
Bisphenol what? Bisphenol-A is a chemical associated with reproductive defects and low dose toxicity.
As if this isn’t outraging enough, I also read that the chemical is often found in baby bottles and sippy cups too. Healthy Child, Healthy World takes you through the rooms of your house to identify, item by item, toxic substances consumed by children and families everyday. And Healthy Toy database indicates which toys and car seats are lead-free.
I like the way one blog writer put it when she said “we mamas gotta be our OWN lobbyists.” California moms and dads can take action by supporting legislation to ban of bisphenol-A. State senate Bill 1713 needs our help. Make noise by contacting companies that use bisphenol-A and share the facts with parents you know.
