BPA-free Bottles - know the dangers

Sept. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- BPA stands for bisphenol A, a substance which is included in all polycarbonate products, like baby bottles, made for everyday use around the home.

Recent health scares, concerning polycarbonate baby bottles containing bisphenol-A, centre around concerns that long-term exposure to BPA could result in health and developmental implications for infants and children. The concern is that, in preparing a bottle by heating to a high temperature in a steriliser or microwave, babies could ingest a quantity of BPA, which leaches out of polycarbonate bottles more easily if they have been heated to a high temperature.

Many leading bottle and cup retailers, including VUPbaby offer leading-brand BPA-free bottles and cups, such as MAM, Born Free and bibi - all available online for delivery direct to your door. Further information on their BPA-free range can be obtained from the website; www.vupbaby.co.uk.
