Polycarbonate baby bottles

Did anyone see this on the news? I am taking no chances and buying new bottles. Anyone know the safe brands?

For those that didnt see it Canada has banned polyc bottles as they leach Bisphenol A into the bottles contents. A study has shown that this can cause cancer and affect hormones.

The following was taken from a website:

Exposure to Bisphenol A is Widespread

Bisphenol A is most commonly used to make clear polycarbonate plastic for consumer products, such as baby bottles. Through use, this plastic breaks down and leaches bisphenol A into liquids and food to which it comes into contact.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found bisphenol A in the urine of over 95% of people they tested.
Alarmingly, the median level of bisphenol A in humans is higher than the level that causes adverse effects in animal studies.

Oh yes I just saw it in that thread after I posted here. Sorry.

I am sure that I had heard it before too but now that Canada has banned them I think maybe it could be more serious.
If there is anything I can do to possibly reduce the chance of cancer then I am going to do it. Such a small price to pay. JMHO

You can get glass evenflo bottles from baby universe and Nature baby sell some as well.

Hmm good point - I don't know.

I must admit I'm sticking to the plastic evil ones myself.

arent they heavy? if all this stuff is true why are we still allowed them? is there proven studies... i totally understand what you mean of course any risk isnt a risk worth taking but i just wonder if its all really true thats all..

I knew there was a reason I was too lazy to heat up Tom's milk Apparently heating increases the risk of the chemical leeching out!

I think it needs to be put in perspective as there are lots of other things we do that probably increase the risk of cancer.

I liked the sound of glass bottles due to their durability....bummer they arent easily recycled these days...whats with that?

i used bfree bottles with Rhiannon, only place i found then was a chemist, and at $20 a bottle they are really expensive

ive always been a fan of NUK products, there not cheap either and thereve all got the "7" on them
they do make glass ones too but not in the wide neck range.

hopefully by the time our kids are older no one will die from cancer anymore.

computer screens are ment to cause cancer too , and coffee, and cell phones lol

just giong to read that but i think my bottles have a 2..is it only bottles with number 7..i have tommee tippee ones.. and i cant give him his milk cold.. :( just checked they all have 2 on them
