Bisphenol A, otherwise known as BPA, is a chemical compound primarily used to harden plastic. While the industry that makes BPA says that it is safe, there have been several reports lately about how it could be toxic to the human body because it mimics the sex hormone estradio...l when expo...sed to high temperatures and/or certain dish detergents!
In mice and rats there is evidence that low doses of bisphenol A can cause structural damage to the brain, hyperactivity, abnormal sexual behavior, increased fat formation, early puberty and disrupted reproductive cycles. And according to research at the University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Cincinnati, early exposure to a widely used industrial chemical in plastics manufacture may be linked to prostate cancer later in life. So it would be good to avoid it, right? Well, that might be hard to do considering that it is in so many plastic products, including those reusable plastic water bottles people are starting to use and even baby bottles…and you don’t want to fill a newborn with toxins. If you want to see how BPA could affected us, visit our photo Album, "BPA Study". You can see how scary is BPA.

BPA Bottle
Different of BPA-free bottle and BPA bottle
This is the difference between bottled policarbonate Polypropylene. Policarbonate bottles clean and transparent color while Polypropylene bottles or BPA-free, white or gray color is a little smoke.
If you are still hesitant to use Polypropylene, for the more 'safety', experts advise that we use milk bottles made of glass CONFIRM Which is BPA-free. But the glass bottle, it's fragile.
