Not only BPAs but many chemicals like BPAs can cause birth defects because our bodies think they are estrogen.
If this worries you, read the books It Starts With the Egg and Grain Brain.
They both suggest that not only what you eat, but how it’s prepared can affect the health of a child.
For instance it’s a big no-no, according to It Starts With the Egg, to heat most plastics in the microwave. The heat breaks the plastic down, it can get in your blood, your body will think it’s estrogen, and they don’t even know the full effects of this yet.
So think about
burritos in plastic wrapping,
cling wrap on a bowl,
reheating leftovers in Tupperware,
disposable cutlery
These chemicals are not just in food:
your car’s interior
your cell phone case
even the clothes on your back, unless they’re 100% pure, untreated, natural fabric, may have been made with these chemicals.
