Plastic safety tips
Federal scientists suggest that people seeking to limit their exposure to bisphenol A take the following steps:
* Don’t microwave polycarbonate plastic food containers. Polycarbonate is strong and durable, but it may break down from overuse at high temperatures. Polycarbonate containers that have BPA usually have the recycle number 7 on the bottom.
* Reduce your use of canned foods.
* When possible, opt for glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers, particularly for hot food or liquids.
* Use baby bottles that are made of glass or BPA-free plastic.
