Plastic bottles may be bad for your health

A new study finds a chemical compound in plastic water bottles, including baby bottles, could cause a problem for the child's future.

The chemical is called Blisphenol A and in a 45 page study conducted by the national toxicology program, the chemical is most commonly found in water bottles, baby bottles, and the lining of many food, drink and baby formula cans.

This product could be linked to health problems like prostate cancer, breast cancer, and the early on-set of puberty.

In the National Toxicology Study it says; Blisphenol A is a chemical produced in large quantities for us primarily in the production of poly carbonate plastics.

The primary source of exposure for most people is through diet, while air dust and water are other sources of exposure, the degree to which Blisphenol A (BPA) migrates from receptacles into liquid appears to depend more on the temperature of the liquid.

While this is only a draft of the study, a full review will take place on June 11th.
