Glass milk bottles are safer

　　The news that BPA-containing plastic bottles are harmful to the health of baby's parents panic: After the Canadian government banned the sale of BPA-containing baby bottles, a local council in the United States recently voted to ban BPA-containing baby bottles and cups with straws. Followed by the actions of some companies: 6 companies in the United States have stated that they will no longer produce baby bottles containing bisphenol A, and the baby bottles produced by these companies account for more than half of the market share in the United States; Walmart in the United States has also announced that it will no longer produce baby bottles containing bisphenol A. The sale of BPA-free feeding bottles began earlier this year.

　　The reporter visited the baby product counters of many shopping malls and supermarkets in Beijing and found that the baby bottles of various brands did not clearly identify whether there was BPA, but the sales staff said: most baby bottles contain BPA.

　　BPA refers to bisphenol-based propane, often abbreviated as bisphenol A, which is a commonly used chemical raw material. Most of plastic containers and packaging such as plastic milk bottles and beverage bottles contain this substance.

　　Whether BPA is harmful to health, especially children's health, has been debated for a long time. Dr. Patricia Hunter of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine discovered in 2003 that BPA could cause chromosomal abnormalities and other pathological changes in laboratory mice, and warned consumers about this . But this conclusion was unanimously denied by the manufacturer at the time. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also released a study last year saying that BPA is safe.

　　However, with the increase in research on BPA, the view of "BPA is harmful" has gradually gained the upper hand. One after another, studies have found that BPA may lead to more health threats, such as endocrine disorders, precocious puberty, obesity, and even some studies say that the substance may increase the risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer. The latest research has proved that once the plastic products containing BPA are heated or contacted with high temperature liquid, they will rapidly release harmful substances that induce cancer.

　　After visiting the market, the reporter found that the outer packaging of several milk bottle brands with large sales volume in China did not clearly indicate whether they contained BPA, but only marked "high-quality plastic manufacturing". But when asked by reporters, the salesperson said that almost all plastic bottles contain such ingredients.
