I was watching Good Morning America the other day and this story came on about plastic bottles, not water bottles, but hard plastic bottles such as baby bottles and this FLOORED ME...........


Now granted there isn't enough research, this still has me in shock....

Wow! watching that gave me the willies! how many millions of those kind of baby bottles have how many millions of moms put boiling water in to sterilize and then heated for babies! WOW, I realize it's only a theoretical problem, but that's really far reaching!

Of course, it doesn't mean anything for our family because only one of my kids actually drank formula from a bottle and it wasn't my son w/ the autism Dx. Only my first drank formula/breast milk from bottles because I was working, the others were breast fed and we didn't bother w/ bottles until they were older and then they refused. We didn't put anything hot in the sippy cups that would cause any problems.

HMMMMM, interesting.

Well, we've "nuked" everything for Adam, sippy cup included.............I wanna be sick over this......
I really hope this is something on the "enviormental trigger" end of the autism is looked into futher....There are SO many theroys on what "could" be a factor into the rise in autism, BUT I feel in my worthless opinion that this is HUGE............
