If you know me personally or follow my blogs, you may already know that I am passionate about issues pertaining to the countless chemicals and toxins we and our children are exposed to on a daily basis. When we found out that my sweet son who lives with Asperger’s Syndrome, like many other kids with Autism Spectrum Disorders, wasn’t processing toxins out of his body as well as his typical peers; I became a serious “mom on a mission!”
Four + years later, one of the toxins constantly on my radar is BPA. (Read here for a previous post about dangerous BPA and how it threatens our children’s health.) Because BPA is linked to altered development of the brain and immune systems, hormone disruption, breast cancer prostate cancer, obesity, cardiac disease (and more) and is in many of the products we buy every week at the grocery store, it should be on everyone’s radar! But, many people still aren’t aware that BPA – found in so many of our products – can be dangerous to our health (and our children’s health). This is why we must all do what we can to spread the word!
