Plastic

BPA or Bisphenol A is a plastic used to line food cans and make bottles like baby bottles and water bottles. BPA has been linked to cancer and birth defects in female and male reproductive systems. This toxic poison is found on over 100 types of cans of vegetables, soup, fruit and infant formula.

One study found that in 1 out of 3 cans of infant formula, only one serving was enough to give a person a dose of over 200 times the government’s standard for safe-level exposure. Currently there are no government regulations on amount of BPA allowed in our food!

95% of people tested in the US have a dangerous level of BPA in their systems.

If the recycle symbol on the bottom of your container has a #7, it most likely contains BPA
