There are several advantages to using stainless steel baby bottles instead of plastic baby bottles with BPA and glass bottles. Stainless steel bottles are very durable, easy to clean, heat up and cool down quickly, often contain 60% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable. Stainless steel baby bottles will also reduce the exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA).
For over 40 years, Bisphenol A (BPA) was used as a component for all kinds of plastics including bottles, drinking cups and protective lining found in cans and food containers. Even though there were concerns about the potential dangers of BPA exposure to humans since the 1930s, only recently did those concerns influence the distributors and manufacturers to eliminate BPA from their products. BPA can cause numerous health problems including developmental issues in children, early onset of puberty and birth defects.
A recent study done by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the FDA has confirmed that there is validity to this fear of human exposure to BPA. More tests are in progress; however in the meantime, the FDA has recommended that appropriate measures be taken to reduce the amount of Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure to humans.
Some of the steps that the FDA plan to sponsor is the development of alternative linings for cans used for infant formula and food products that do not contain Bisphenol A (BPA) and increase the regulation regarding the use of BPA in food products. The FDA is also helping to decrease the manufacturing of baby bottles and baby products that contain BPA; however this will not happen overnight.
There are other alternatives for feeding babies such as glass bottles and stainless steel baby bottles. Glass is a great option however glass can break or shatter and can be dangerous around an infant which leaves stainless steel baby bottles as the better option.
As Stainless Steel Bottles are made using the purest elements on the earth, they are naturally resistant to bacterial growth and are easy to clean, dishwasher safe and of coarse BPA-free. Most stainless steel bottles are made from food-grade 18/8 stainless steel and contain no toxins.
Some advantages of using stainless steel baby bottles is their ability to heat content quickly and also cool it down quickly either by putting the bottle in hot water or in ice water. They also fit into temperature controlled heating devices for bottles so you can have the controlled temperature you want. As Stainless steel baby bottles are metal, they are not recommended to be heat up in a microwave.
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and reusable and at Green Bottle, you will find a wide selection of stainless steel baby bottles that are compatible with most brand name nipples.
