BPA in Infant Formula
Please sign here to join MomsRising in demanding that the FDA ban BPA from infant formula packaging.
More than 200 scientific studies link BPA exposure to breast cancer, prostate cancer, birth defects, diabetes, obesity, and other health issues. Infants are at particular risk because their brains and organs are still developing.
BPA leaches from packaging into food and beverages, and it moves into our bodies. Exposure early in life increases infants’ risks of cancer and other diseases later in life.
The FDA banned BPA from bottles and sippy cups, but that’s not enough. Please take action to have it removed from infant formula packaging.

Bye-Bye Bakelite

I mixed and matched and wore them almost every day. When I was buying the bracelets, I learned a trick to tell whether they were real [...]
