Plastic Baby Bottles

Have you been wondering if those plastic bottles are really worth it? Well according to watchdog group, Environment California, you should be sounding an alarm!

"Everyone of those five brands(Gerber, Playtex, AVENT, Dr. Brown's and Evenflo) leached a toxic chemical called Bisphenol A into the liquids inside the bottle," Laura Tabor, of Environment California said.

The group used independent labs and found the chemical Bisphenol A leached more into liquids whenever a bottle was heated or washed with harsh detergents.

"Bisphenol A has been linked to cancer, obesity, diabetes and a lot of other serious problems," Tabor said.

Besides baby bottles, Bisphenol A can be found in a wide variety of consumer products including eye glasses, reusable water bottles, and microwavable food containers. However, Environment California says baby products should be the first to be regulated.

And while some parents agree- some parents say they're not worried!
