California lawmakers are working on a bill to eliminate a toxic chemical found in baby bottles. Bisphenol A is a chemical found in many plastics that can cause unhealthy changes in behavior and the brain.

Megan Schwarzman, a San Francisco family physician and research scientist at the University of California, Berkeley, said "We should definitely take steps to limit our exposure to the substance. Anything we can do to reduce bisphenol A could potentially have big payoffs to protecting human health."

It's a shame; baby bottles all go back to the issue of money. Glass is more expensive than plastic, and breast feeding doesn't work with job schedules or society teachings this year. Which leaves people in a delemna over baby bottles: cost vs. moral issues.

It's nice to see that somebody is trying to make plastic baby bottles safe, but I suspect that this is all backed by some big business entity who has cornered the market on some new baby bottle plastic formula that they want everybody to buy. But, that's just me... I don't trust big business motives in anything to do with health these days.

The safest way to feed a baby still seems to be with Ma' Natures bottles in my opinion. But, any more, that takes a big financial sacrifice for a family to do if they depend upon two incomes. It is such a shame that we have gotten to this point of choices between what is best for the whole family vs. what is best for a new life.

Does anybody else have any thoughts on this subject? I'd be curious to read them.

Happy thoughts to all! Catherine
