We all want to protect our babies and children from harmful chemicals. We make sure we wash our fruit, we eat organic if we can, and we try to make sure we buy BPA free baby products, but is it enough? How about the chemicals that surround us every day, over which we have seemingly no control?

The battle against BPA has secured another victory this week, thanks to the 'Toxin Free Infants and Toddler Act', a bill banning the use of BPA in baby bottles and cups in California. The bill, AB 1319, was introduced by Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, who argued that BPA is harmful to babies, and that bottles and cups are a significant source of exposure during vulnerable periods of development.
