has its setbacks.
The following is from consumer reports.
Powdered formula is usually not only cheaper than liquid formula, it might
be safer, too, because powdered formula tends to be much lower in bisphenol
A (BPA), a chemical that has been used in the protective lining in metal-
based food cans, including infant formula.
Studies have linked BPA to breast and prostate cancer, reproductive
abnormalities, and--for infants exposed in the womb--problems later on,
including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obesity, and diabetes. A
recent study found that people in the U.S. have about double the amount of
BPA in their bodies compared with Canadians.
As Consumer Reports tests have found, BPA has been found at varying levels
in many canned food products, such as soups, vegetables, and beans, as well
as some infant formula.
"Liquid formula contains high enough levels of BPA to cause harm," says
Frederick vom Saal, Ph.D., a leading BPA researcher and professor of biology
at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
Some manufacturers have tried to address concerns over BPA. For example,
Abbott, the company that makes Similac, announced in 2011 that all Similac-
brand formulas were "BPA free," adding that this means "no BPA is used in
the manufacturing process for the packaging." If you are concerned about BPA
, check with the manufacturer of your child's formula to see if it has
addressed the issue.
It's important to keep in mind however, that when we tested powdered infant
formula and so-called BPA-free baby bottles, we still found trace levels of
it, suggesting that given its widespread use in so many other materials, it
may not be possible to get to a point of having a product, or packaged
infant formula, that is 100 percent free of BPA. |
