i dont know how credible this news is, simply for the fact that INITIALLY glass bottles were in, and then it was decided that plastic bottles were the way to go, and NOW theyre saying that glass bottles are the better choice.
I think that the majority of us have been raised on plastic bottles and we've turned out fine (for the most part.. lol). I think that there has got to be more than just all of a sudden they realize this. Maybe the gov has a deal with glass bottle company? Who knows? But the point is, is that you really shouldnt believe everything you read/hear... you need to research more and inform yourself more.
Also, if youre looking for glass bottles they sell them at Babys R Us.
is like anything made out of plastic is bad for u now, i used to bring my lunch on a plastic container and heat it up, now i don't do that, now i still bring my food on a plastic container but I heat it up on a plate i have at work, let me tell u the food taste a lot better now
Chile: WTF!! I mentioned this WEEKS ago!! and you said it was OLD news!!

Yeah it did hit the new months ago but not enough to pull anything from the shelf. Then the company I use came out saying the products were safe. Now there is new research that says ALL platic baby bottles have serious risks.

@D: Any normal person has issues when you bring other people into this BS. Without mentioning any names, you did the same friggin' thing with other members who got upset at you for raising the name of their loved ones. No one - or at least most ppl here - don't care if you "take jabs" at them directly - it's all good.
Most people here, however, do take offence when you mention their loved ones. As far as I know, most people insult YOU directly - not your momma, not your sister, not any of your other loved ones. That would be stooping down to your immature, disrespectuful, dumb, level - which you may actually deserve, but most of us are grown up and won't go down to your level. Not that you haven't been told a gazillion times before, D - you need to fa king grow up!!!
yeaaah totaly mature adults who joke around like young mofitos! and get vent over BS!!...

They should really bring back the glass bottles. I know you can find them in some stores (not sure what stores), but they are REALLY hard to get.

OTTAWA -- Some of the most popular baby bottles sold in Canada should be pulled from the shelves because of the health risks posed by the chemical bisphenol A, a study warns.
Commissioned by Environmental Defence, researchers tested a number of baby bottles available in Canada and the U.S. and found that they leached "significant" levels of the hormone-disrupting chemical, also called BPA, when they were heated.
Studies have shown that BPA can upset the body's hormonal balance and warn that exposure may cause, Type 2 diabetes, early onset of puberty in girls and behavioural problems.
The controversial chemical is widely used in polycarbonate plastics -- hard, clear plastics -- and in epoxy resins. Baby bottles, reusable water bottles, the lining of canned foods and a host of other everyday products contain BPA.
"If this study doesn't make the case for an immediate ban on this kind of plastic in food and beverage containers, I don't know what will," said Rick Smith, head of Environmental Defence and the parent of a one-year-old.
Health Canada is currently studying the health and environmental effects of BPA and tested baby bottles, sippy cups and beverage bottles. Results are expected this spring.
Concern over the chemical has already prompted some stores, such as Mountain Equipment Co-op and Lululemon, to stop selling polycarbonate bottles.
Environmental Defence tested three bottles from three different brands bought on Canadian store shelves and 10 bottles from four different companies in the U.S. The bottles were filled with water, left to sit for 24 hours, then tested for BPA levels at both room temperature and after heating them in an oven at 80 C. They were heated to determine how much BPA would leach from a well-used bottle, washed repeatedly in hot water or a dishwasher.
The results showed no notable leaching at room temperature, but all bottles showed significant levels of leaching when heated -- in the range of five to eight parts per billion.
National standards vary between countries. In Canada, the limit is 25 parts per billion per day.
Parents commonly heat their baby's bottles in a microwave and wash them in the dishwasher or hot water. According to the study, that can increase the amount of BPA leached from the plastic over time, because the plastic breaks down under those conditions.
Environmental Defence argues that even low doses of the chemical are risky and that babies and children are especially vulnerable.l
THIS PISSES ME OFF! WHY THE FU cK are thease things still available at stores. In fact it's hard to find glass ones.
UGH I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO PISSED!
I should sue AVENT and get money for my baby's possible exposure Mother fu ckers
