Many of the products that we use in everyday life can be very harmful and cancer causing. One of the most common products that is toxic to our health is plastic water bottles. The harmful chemical that is released in water bottles is Bisphenol-A. It is also found in baby bottles, cans with plastic liner, water cooler jugs and any plastic that is see through. Bisphenol-A will disrupt hormones and endocrine systems. Bisphenol-A has been linked to birth defects, behavioral problems and cancer. An alternative to plastic bottles would be a SIGG bottle which has been made in Switzerland for 100 years. It is made out of aluminum with a baked on organic inner coating, and has been tested for Bisphenol-A and all tests have come back negative. SIGG water bottles are available on line at www.myleftbreast.com. 

To further reduce risk of Bisphenol-A, food should be stored in glass containers rather then in plastic, glass water jugs in your fridge and buying food in glass jars rather then cans or plastic.
