What are alternatives to Bisphenol A?
Until there is a ban on Bisphenol A, the best alternative is to avoid food and beverage containers that contain the chemical. Use glass or stainless steel refillable drinking bottles, instead of hard plastic ones. For juice or other drinks, it’s best to use lined aluminum bottles. Stainless steel bottles are great for water. For baby bottles, choose glass or look for companies that make hard plastic bottles without Bisphenol A. They are often available at health food stores, organic markets and grocery stores and some baby stores. Avoid eating canned food when you can. Instead of canned vegetables or fruits, choose fresh or frozen ones (they’re healthier for you that way, too!). You can also buy many different kinds of soups and beans in reusable glass jars. And, instead of buying soft drinks in cans, choose glass bottles.
