Keeping BPA Out of Our Children: No Amount is Safe for My Child
BPA is a hot topic. Is it a concern or not? According to the FDA, BPA is okay at the levels found in our food and storage containers which hold our food. I am not one to trust the FDA to decide what is safe for my child. This is the same organization that says artificial colorants are okay in foods, the same colorants that cause my six year olds face to go red and blotchy (among other reactions that the medical community will try to say aren’t related, because food doesn’t affect behavior they say).
For my children, no amount of chemical exposure is safe. I don’t put it on their bodies. I don’t feed them preservatives, dyes or artificial flavorings. Why would I allow them to use products that could leach potentially harmful chemicals like BPA into their food or water? My children aren’t going to be the guinea pigs for this safety test.
