BPA can cross placenta during pregnancy!!!

If you have a baby, you know to choose BPA free products. What no one has warned against is for expectant mothers to steer clear of it as well.
A new study finds that it does cross the placenta during pregnancy. Now that I'm trying to recollect what I did during pregnancy, it could drive me nuts. However, if you are pregnant or thinking about it, be aware of what you ingest because food exposure seems to be what puts mothers and their babies most at risk for this harmful chemical.

What to do?
Don't drink from plastic bottles of any type, use a stainless reusable bottle or buy glass beverages. Don't heat or store foods in plastic containers, use glass. (sorry Tupperware fans) While you should be eating healthy, if you must have a microwave meal, remove it from its container to heat in a glass container. Don't eat canned food unless it is Eden organics which have BPA free cans. Always wash your hands after handling receipts because they contain BPA. Dental fillings have BPA as well, so avoid during pregnancy.

As if pregnant women didn't have enough to worry about!!! With any luck maybe BPA will be banned altogether in products. That would take one more harmful chemical out of our lives!!
