How to avoid BPA
Since Canada officially announced it considers BPA (Bisphenol A) a toxic substance and banned its use in baby bottles on April 18, 2008, more information about the toxicity of plastics is being more widely spread. During this announcement by Canadian Health Minister Tony Clement, the lining in baby formulas cans was also mentioned. As we all know, it is not only formula cans that contain a lining.
Most food in tin cans contains a lining, and testing shows that food in tin cans has higher levels of BPA than even baby bottles or plastic bottles. For the complete article with this information from Globe and Mail, read here.
To avoid ingesting BPA avoid canned foods and eat fresh products, as much as possible. Purchase products in glass containers. Store your food in glass storage containers and use glass baby bottles. Avoid plastic water bottles by using stainless steel water bottles that are also reusable.

I completly agree with you…Even though the FDA is not coming our against BPA I think there is enough data out there to suggest that it poses a significant health risk that deserves attention. I’m very proud of the fact that the company I work for, as well as many others out there, are making food and beverage containers that are BPA free. I think it starts with education, awareness, and a conscious decision to minimize your exposure in as many ways possible. Please take a look some of the product my company makes ( http://www.aladdin-pmi.com/ ) …i think they are going in the right direction. We need to support all companies that are moving away from BPA in their products (water bottles, baby bottles, canned food companies, ect.)
