This is the sort of thing that makes you think sippy cups might not be such a good idea.
BPA is used in the production of epoxy resins and polycarbonate plastics. The plastics are used in many food and drink packaging applications. Resins are commonly used as lacquers to coat metal products such as food cans, milk container linings, bottle tops, water supply pipes and dental sealants.
Time to get rid of those plastic water bottles, and start buying your dairy in glass.

Thank you for posting this. I am very concerned about toxins in our food and in packaging. I know people tend to not want to hear about it but I think we need to. I have also read that microwavng food in plastic is toxic.
Great new site--I found it through Saute Wednesday. I will be back!
