This move is the result of new research which has shown that BPA can be detrimental to adults & children. According to a recent study published last month by the American Medical Association, there is a “significant relationship” between exposure to the ubiquitous estrogenic chemical and heart disease, diabetes and liver problems. BPA can be found in just about everything from cans (soda, soup, tomato sauce), water bottles, baby bottles and plastic toys.
