Toxic fears for baby bottles
Tuesday, 1 December 2009
enlargeBaby bottles containing the Bisphenol A chemical should be removed from UK shelves, campaigners said yesterday.
Scientists, charities and representatives from the National Childbirth Trust said there was “compelling” scientific evidence that the chemical is linked to breast cancer and other conditions.
Scientists have long been divided on whether Bisphenol A (often abbreviated to BPA) causes health problems in people after several lab studies showed problems in mice, including changes to the reproductive system.
The chemical is widely used in plastics and is commonly found in food and drink containers.
