In recent years, researchers studying a compound found in plastics used to manufacture bottles, to seal the trays of prepared food and also in bottles, it comes to Bisphenol A.
This compound has been reported in these studies as the cause of various health problems, cancer, abortions, etc. Well, we have seen a warning in Canada in which to prohibit the marketing of all plastic baby bottles because they can be a hazard to babies.
The reason for this is the recent research with mice in which there are harmful effects on the nervous and hormonal systems of fetuses, newborns and children. In addition, the Canadian government has just sent a preliminary report of the results of investigations to the U.S. government. It emphasizes that exposure to Bisphenol A causes the damage we have mentioned earlier.
Current levels of this substance in food materials are harmful to children. In the alert, the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) indicates that a new study to test the effects and the above conclusions. I honestly do not understand very well the position of the EFSA, many studies showing the danger of this element in children and we can trace some years ago.
Should not the EFSA, as a preventive measure to ban them too?, Have previous studies and research that would support the decision to them, plus any Canadian studies are reason enough to ban those plastic materials that incorporate Bisphenol A and it comes in contact with babies.
On why he has continued to use it is not difficult to imagine, as in most cases, are the economic interests prevail over the interests of health. We bottle feeding our children and this may be a potential danger to their health.
