Dear Friend,
I
am working with thousands of other parents and families to make
children safer by eliminating the toxic chemical BPA in bottles and
other containers children use. I thought you might be interested, too.
BPA has been linked to many chronic diseases and disorders--- and
fetuses, babies, and children are especially vulnerable.
Even
though there?s been a lot of media attention about toxic chemicals in
kids products over the last year, toxic chemicals like bisphenol-A
(BPA) are still found in product that kids use every day like baby
bottles, sports water bottles, the lining of formula cans, and sippy
cups. This is a significant problem because more than 200 studies have
linked BPA exposures at very low doses to breast and prostate cancer,
obesity, diabetes, altered development of the brain and immune systems,
lowered sperm counts and early puberty. Growing children are also
especially at risk from BPA because they have smaller bodies. In fact,
BPA is so toxic that even very small amounts have been shown to cross
the placenta and impact prenatal development.
Together we can
change this! Urge Congress to pass the Ban Poisonous Additives Act,
which will prohibit the sale of food and beverage containers that
contain BPA.
