In fact, studies are showing that all plastics leech chemicals that act like estrogen. In testing more than 450 plastic products, researchers found 70 percent of them released estrogen-like chemicals. That was before they exposed them to heat, like most plastic products are exposed to through things like the dishwasher or microwave. Once researchers did that, then 95 percent of the products emitted the chemicals. Researchers have found that BPA-free plastic products are maybe not safe enough.

I'm working as a full-time nanny and I'm concerned not only about the formula but the baby bottles. If plastic water bottles leach chemicals, do baby bottles as well? Thanks for your post.

Almost all granite resins and adhesives have large amounts of BPA in the hardner. Some of the sealers contain BPA and even worse chemmicals. Of course the granite itself is packed with heavy metals, tens of thousands of parts per million in some cases. Thallium is of special concern, so don't roll dough, cool cookies, or cut up food on that granite top. Keep food of your granite countertop as well.
