BPA is completely banned here in Canada

Thank God they finally decided to do something about BPA.
I  hope that government is forceful enough to remove all products that contain BPA. There is a vast variety of products that contain BPA which is kind of scary.

Some of the products which might contain bisphenol A include:
•    hard clear plastic and some tinted water bottles
•    hard clear plastic baby feeding bottles
•    hard plastic baby toys
•    food storage containers, plastic bowls and tableware
•    cans of baked beans, soup, vegetables, fizzy drinks
•    dental sealant to prevent cavities
•    electronic equipment and CDs
•    spray-on flame retardants

When grocery shopping I used to check the label of ingredients now I’m also concerned about the container of the product too. I don’t know if they can easily replace the products in a BPA free product or not.

I for one am going to throw away all my plastic containers plus all my kids plastic food wear and replace them with glass containers. For kids plates I know there are many china like unbreakable dinner sets, but I have to study on them do they fall  under the hard plastic category.  For now I’m going to use what my great grandmother used for living whitened copper plates. I’m sure these won’t have BPA in them until I  decide what to do.It will be an expensive project but you can’t put a price on health.

Something else that  worries me is the BPA in dental sealants for sure I’m going to check with my dentist to see what kind of product he is using.

If you have a concern or have an idea please share it with us.

Until later,

Share
