BPA free plastic still not safe

BPA free plastic still not safe

April 5th, 2011 - 4:48 am

“It doesn’t seem to matter what I do to keep my family safe from chemicals, it never seems to be enough!”
I know, I know… You throw out all those old plastic food containers and water bottles and replace them with BPA free ones thinking that you are doing the right thing, only to be told that they are still not safe because of a long and dubious list of other chemical foes that simply haven’t reached the level of publicity that BPA has yet.
