There are war problems and there are plastic problems. We’ve explained why plastic baby bottles can be bad for baby boys. Now it turns out that when mothers drink out of plastic bottles when pregnant, it can affect the personalities of their girl babies, when they reach the “terrible twos.”

BPA is commonly used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins that can be found, for example, in some types of plastic bottles, canned food linings, water supply pipes and medical tubing.

Exposure during pregnancy to the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA, found in many common plastic household items, is known to cause a fertility defect in the mother’s offspring in animal studies. Endocrinologist Hugh Taylor says, “The big mystery is how does exposure to this estrogen-like substance during a brief period in pregnancy lead to a change in uterine function.”To find the answer to that question, Taylor and his team injected pregnant mice with a low dose of BPA.

In April 16th edition of the New York Times, Ian Austen reports that the Canadian government is about to declare as toxic a chemical widely used in plastics that we use for eating and drinking. BPA is used in plastics for baby bottles, drink and food containers and the linings of food cans.
