Lately, theres buzz going around about BPA in feeding equipment especially baby feeding bottles. Government also have taken action to ban the bottle in near future. Akan tetapi, mengapa ramai yang make big fuss about why goverment did't implement the ban immediately? Ok, mula-mula lets see...
*What is BPA or Bisphenol A?
BPA is a chemical used in polycarbonate plastics and is used extensively in consumer products ranging from baby bottles to coffee makers. It can also be found in products such as laptop computers, CDs, car parts, water filters, and as linings in food and drink cans.
*What are the dangers for children?
Future fertility - BPA passes through the placenta from mother to baby, mimicking the behaviour of the natural hormone oestrogen. Even low levels of exposure while the baby is developing can cause lasting changes in reproductive and metabolic development.
Behavioural problems - Several studies have found that Bisphenol A at extremely low levels causes changes in brain structure and behavior in rats which scientists argue show the same reaction in humans.
Cancer - some studies have found that early exposure to BPA during infancy increases the risk of breast and prostate cancer in later
* Saya Google ye info ni.
So, bagi parents yang rasa kerajaan tak patut tangguh pengharaman botol sebegini, apa kata look it this way,
Kerajaan kena buat keputuasan dengan memikirkan banyak pihak. Jadi bagi parents yang asyik salahkan pihak lain, sampaikan isu botol apa nak bagi anak sendiri pakai, cuba fikir sendiri. Kerajaan dah announced kata BPA tu bahaya, sebagai parents, kita la decide sendiri nak pakai botol jenis apa untuk anak kita. Tak kisah la dah ban di kedai atau tidak. Yang nak beli kita, bukan penjual paksa pon kita nak beli botol apa.
Jadi, as parents, pilih la betul-betul apa yang kita nak beri pada anak-anak kita.Bukan sebab kerajaan ban atau tidak, tetapi atas dasar tanggungjawap terhadap kesihatan anak-anak dimasa hadapan.
* Mungkin lepas ni terdiam la orang-orang yang kata saya berlagak sebab beli botol mahal untuk anak-anak saya. :-)
