| Plastic + Food + Heat = a health problem?
Posted: 6/26/2009 1:55:35 PM | I've heard on the news lately that there is a specific kind of plastic or plastic additive in babies bottles that could potentially harm babies.
Does anyone know of any other kinds of plastic or plastic additives that could be a problem for adults? | |

| Plastic + Food + Heat = a health problem?
Posted: 6/26/2009 5:35:03 PM | | Not to sure. I don't have babies and none of my food comes in or is heated in plastic. The whole concept freaks me out. I cook all my own meats which I buy fresh. If I am out, and in a bind, I buy a protein shake or a jar of peanut butter...lol I imagine a lot of pre packaged foods that come in plastic containers have some problems...but what doesn't these days??? I try to avoid all of it. As much as possible. I know it is not 100% avoidable. | |

It's banned in some countries and US mfrs are starting to remove it from their products.
BPA has been in the news for a couple years now. | |

Posted: 6/30/2009 1:07:26 AM | Wow. DANG! I wonder how my grandparents ever lived to be in their 80's and 90's considering they grew up before anyone knew how harmful everything they were doing was. It's amazing isn't it?
Seriously. Some things are bad, others--well? You just have to ask yourself. | |
