Plastic in Baby Bottles Possibly Toxic
Plastic baby bottles contain a chemical called bisphenol A or BPA for short (scroll down for the section on BPA). It is possible--though there is no hard evidence of this--that, when a plastic bottle is heated, some BPA might leak into the contents of the bottle.
It is important to keep in mind that plastic bottles have been used for a long time without any documented adverse effects. However, for those wishing to be extra cautious on the issue of baby bottles, the Environmental Working Group has a guide on what materials to watch out for.
