Baby Boutique Charleston SC Offers Safe, Tested Accessories for Babies and Moms
Why BPA free products are worth the trouble
Charleston, South Carolina, USA – February 28, 2019 / / —
Under the Almond Tree is pleased to announce that it carries products that are BPA free. Recent tests and conclusions differ on why BPA may not be safe, but just to be on the safe side, this Charleston boutique ensures its products are up to snuff. Many consumers are aware of the change, and switch from BPA treated plastics to non-BPA plastics, but it s also important to understand why the consumer industry is making the switch. After all, knowledge is power!
BPA stands for bisphenol A, an industrial compound that is often used to coat and harden metal or plastic products. It is a handy product that can keep, for instance, metals in canned goods from degrading or breaking down. Often found in packaged foods with plastic, it has a great way of ensuring that plastic stays hard and maintain more prolonged use.
The controversy with this material comes from the fact that BPA can be found to seep into the food or liquids that it is exposed to. From there, the food carries the BPA into the body and potentially may be disrupting thyroid and hormone regulations in the system. Why is this? The naturally occurring hormone estrogen has a similar shape to the manmade BPA chemical. Some theorize that BPA ends up binding to hormone and estrogen receptors that are in control of many important parts of our body regulation and maintenance. Bodily influences can include fetal development, energy levels, and reproduction.
Studies have suggested there are adverse effects included with BPA in the bloodstream, including higher levels of miscarriages or poor quality embryos. Because of this risk, several countries have limited or banned the use of BPA. These countries are in the EU, Canada, China, and Malaysia.
Alternative types of plastic or those untreated with BPA have become popular with more knowledge about BPA and its potential risks. Here at our baby boutique Charleston SC, products are chosen to be safe and have a high standard. Instead of plastic, products may use glass, porcelain, silicon or stainless steel if they are expected to contain food. One example is EZPZ placemat. Their Happy Mat and Mini Mat offerings are made with food-grade silicone that is free from BPA. Parents can feed their kids with the knowledge that the food will stay safe!
If you re looking for a great selection of high-end products for your own bundle of joy, or perhaps you know someone who is expecting or already has a wee one, Under the Almond Tree is a great place to try and explore safe products. The store also hosts classes where new parents and their families can learn practical skills, such as infant CPR, SIDS prevention, and proper car seat installation.
