I do hope you’ve heard of BPA, and how it’s a shady component in many of our food containers.
I was shocked when a nurse at my OB’s office was unfamiliar with the concerns about BPA in baby bottles. I thought it was practically a mainstream scare, not just something us weirdo-hippy types talk about.
BPA is bisphenol-A, a chemical commonly used in food and beverage containers. Plastic seems to be the best known source of BPA in our food, though the ingredient is also used in the lining of aluminum cans holding soups, fruits and vegetables, meats and pastas.
