Sneaky Sources of BPA

BPA: it sneaks up.  You think you have BPA-proofed your life, do double-check. I say this after I watched my mom and her friends drop near $1000 and some on tupperware at a party. Yes, it still happens.  

Even if you remove all plastic from your food and water supply, there are still some sneaky ways that highly toxic BPA can find its way into your life. Here are the most common

• Cash register receipts: This usually shocks most people. But if you handle a receipt with your hands, then eat your food with your hands, BPA is getting in your system. Better yet, wash your hands immediately after touching one, or anytime before you eat. It IS stil more respectful to wash hands before we sit down to eat
• The lining of most canned foods. Source the brands that don’t use BPA
• Some baby bottles and pacifiers
• Many toys and other children’s products
• Some aluminum water bottles (stainless steel is generally safe).  Do take a closer look please. 
• Canned soda and beer. Do we really need another reason to leave pop and cans alone?
