BHA leaching in baby bottles?

I am absolutely shocked by this. Please research this if you are pregnant or have a baby who uses bottles. Where was the FDA when we needed them to be paying attention.

Unfortunately, most plastic baby bottles and drinking cups are made with plastics containing Bisphenol A. In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3 containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown's in Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles.

Update:

BPA not BHA sorry

    You do not need to use glass bottles. There are many different kinds of plastic bottles that are made without BPA these days. Here are some:

    I cant be scared of BPA more than the air we breathe in. Or the violence in TV. Or the price of formula.
