There have been some studies that even young children that did not consume formula are heavier. Now comes news that even mothers that pump breast milk into plastic bottles may be contaminating that. Everyone in the westernized world that has been tested for the chemicals that are in plastics, Teflon, etc. are found to have these chemicals in their blood. Many of these are endocrine disruptors. That is the biggest issue and may contribute to all sorts of health problems.

While I agree that plastic is a problem on many levels. I think the weight increase has very little to do with the plastic and much more to do with the ingredients in baby formula there is so much sugar in most of the popular formulas that it surprises me that babies and not just children are getting diabetes. Our bodies are not built to take such neuro-toxic products

Wow, I did not know about the fact of using teflon before. Thank you for sharing this. Very useful information for me, especially since I have to raise two small children at this time.

That’s scary. The problem is that there are so many compounds out there that it’s impossible to say what is yand what not. If it’s wrapped in paper, what is the paper treated with? Use a stainless steel pan? Great, but then you need to add more fat which is also bad for you. Etc,etc.

A few years back when we first read about the risk of using plastic bottles to hold drinking water, we stopped using it. Now we just get those bottles that are safe to hold drinking water. It is scary to know that plastics use to hold our foods can have such bad effects too. Although I don’t heat up food in plastic, it is quite unavoidable to not use plastic bags to hold those groceries. Come to think of it, since plastics are not good for the environment, it should have make sense to us earlier that they are bad for our bodies too.
