Plastic for dinner anyone? Plastic can buy you a nice meal at a fine restaurant but who wants to eat it? The plastic, that is. Consuming foods and drinks stored in plastic containers that are heated are harmful as toxic BPA (bis-phenol A) are released, causing this chemical to contaminate our food.
Bis-phenols are estrogenic and bind to estrogen creating an imbalance in our system. This imbalance may be cancer producing. Bisphenols are found in several tooth colored composite filling materials, sealants, and night guards. BPA-free materials are available and are always used at Ecologic Dentistry.
