The Globe and Mail reports, “Health Canada is conducting studies to try to find out how much bisphenol A (BPA) is leaking out of polycarbonate baby bottles and infant formula cans.” The chemical is reportedly under review because it mimics estrogen, and a growing body of research has allegedly linked “low-level exposures, particularly during infancy and fetal development, to cancers and other health conditions associated with sex hormone imbalances.”
