(NaturalNews) Baby bottles from AVENT, Born Free, Green to Grow, Evenflo
and Weil Baby all emit high or very high levels of hormone-altering
chemicals, says new research published in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health. (1)
"Many
PC-replacement-products made from acrylic, polystyrene,
polyethersulfone, and Tritan resins leached chemicals with [estrogenic
activity], including products made for use by babies. Exposure to
various forms of UV radiation often increased the leaching of chemicals
with estrogenic activity," write the study authors.
The
conclusion of the study will send shockwaves across the baby products
industry, stunning many parents who thought "BPA-free" meant "free from
all hormone-disrupting chemicals."
The study authors write:
Many
BPA-free PC- replacement products still leached chemicals having
significant levels of estrogenic activity, as did BPA-containing PC
counterparts they were meant to replace. That is, BPA-free did not mean
[free from estrogenic activity].
