Boiling Water Increases BPA Leaching
Posted by Missy W. @ 9:13 AM
I was just reading a recent post by Jeremiah over at Z Recs about BPA migration rates. “Adding boiling water to polycarbonate plastic bottles causes a dramatic spike in the amount of bisphenol A, or BPA, leaching from containers into drinks, according to a U.S. research team.” I had some of the same questions about the article that were in the comments, i.e. - Who adds boiling water to infant formula? Is there still a higher leaching rate after you’ve sterilized the bottles?
Z Recs also has a great post on BPA found in infant formula.
You can also read the piece on ohdeedoh about not drinking hot tap water due to concentrated amounts of lead.
