The Real Deal on BPA

By Tiffany 15 Comments

I have written extensively about BPA or Bisphenol A on this blog. It is a hormone mimicking chemical that can be found in some plastic types. It is most commonly found in baby bottles, water bottles, kids feeding items (cups, plates, bowls, utensils) toys, etc. Today I saw an investigative journalism report from Fast Company that takes the BPA issue and really tells it like it.
