Not too long ago, the general public was told that BPA containing products (which included just about everything plastic) had chemicals that are being shown to cause a multiplicity of problems in the body. So... companies adopted a new kind of chemical, and touted it as safe, labeled it BPA-free... and now almost every water or baby bottle product on the market is touted as "BPA-free"... but now there is a problem... this new chemical (BPS) is being found to be more dangerous, and found in higher percentages (81% of Americans) than even BPA!
So.... here we go on another merry-go-round by the federal agencies who assure us that a product is "safe" only to have everybody use that product until a few years later it is found in fact to be very dangerous.
These chemicals found in plastics have been linked to miscarriages, abnormal sexual development, diabetes, asthma, and cancer.
