Make sure your reusable bottle really is BPA-free

A recent study has shown that some reusable water bottles are actually leaching BPA.

The study, undertaken by the University of Cincinnati, found that BPA leaked into reusable bottles when the bottle was made of polycarbonate or aluminium lined with expoxy resin. Using hot water caused more BPA to leak, and, perhaps not surprisingly, cheaper bottles showed a greater degree of leaking than more expensive ones.

We've highlighted in our blog previously just how these chemicals can create problems in both adults and children but this recent test, found that mice exposed to BPA became obese.

Unborn babies may be harmed by BPA in food packaging

A US study has raised concerns about the use of BPA in food packaging for pregnant mothers.

Concerns have long been raised over exposing babies to BPA through food jars and bottles, but this new study says that exposure while in the womb may be even worse as the mother consumes the chemical through her diet.

The study fed pregnant mice small amounts of BPA to see what the affect would be on their offspring. As well as struggling to find their way out of a maze, the baby mice were also more anxious.
