BPS Unveiled: Understanding the Basics and Implications
In the world of baby products, concerns about harmful chemicals often arise. As parents, we strive to provide the safest environment for our little ones, and understanding the components of the items we use daily is crucial. In this article, we delve into the realm of BPA and its replacement, BPS, shedding light on what they are and how Cherub Baby ensures safety with BPS-free products.
Understanding BPS: A Closer Look
In 2012, health concerns surrounding Bisphenol A (BPA) prompted the plastics industry to adopt Bisphenol S (BPS) as a substitute in plastic goods. However, recent findings by Dr. Cheryl Watson and graduate student René Viñas from the University of Texas Medical Branch raise alarms. Their study, published in January, suggests that BPS poses similar health risks as BPA.
The issue lies in the gradual leaching of trace amounts of chemical substances from plastic into food. Particularly concerning is the potential impact on the hormone system, with infants and young children being especially vulnerable. Disruptions to this system can lead to various health complications, including diabetes, heart damage, and an increased risk of cancer.
Identifying BPA and BPS: What to Look For
When purchasing plastic products, especially those used for storing and heating food or liquids, it's essential to verify whether they are free from both BPA and BPS. These chemicals are known to leach into contents when exposed to heat. Unlike plastics, glass offers a pure and chemical-free alternative, ensuring a safe environment for food storage.
