Is BPA-Free Plastic Safe?
“BPA free” doesn’t mean free from hormone-disrupting chemicals.
Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the production of certain plastics and epoxy resins, including some food and beverage packaging. As concerns about BPA have grown, manufacturers have increasingly replaced it with other bisphenols, such as BPS and BPF. Research suggests that these alternatives can also interfere with the body’s hormone signaling.
And when you’re trying to conceive, reducing your exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals is an important part of supporting the hormonal environment needed for conception and a healthy pregnancy.
