BPA-free water bottles
Your question answered: Are Retulp products BPA-free?
BPA-free is a term you've probably come across many times. Whether you're looking for plastic utensils in your local supermarket or a reusable water bottle.
What is BPA and what does BPA-free mean?
You probably already knew: BPA is bad. That's why this blog is written for anyone who wants to know more about this common chemical.
BPA stands for Bisphenol A, which is a synthetic chemical widely used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins since the 1960s. It is mostly used to strengthen plastic, but is also found in toiletries, household electronics and purchase receipts.
Because many drinking bottles are made of polycarbonate plastic, BPA is often found in water bottles. It is also used as a liner in many metal containers. Therefore, it is also good to ask yourself if your water bottle contains BPA.
Is BPA bad for your health?
Although bisphenol A is a useful substance, it has been proven to be bad for your health. With products that are not BPA-free, the chemical gets mixed into the food and drink you then consume. Therefore, this causes you to ingest substances that are not good for you. One of the biggest problems with plastic is that it gives off chemicals as you drink. So the more you use a plastic bottle, the more likely your water will be contaminated. So with a reusable water bottle that is BPA-free, you avoid ingesting the wrong substances.
Although small amounts of BPA may not cause major health problems in humans, the chemical has been linked to hormonal imbalances. Because BPA has a similar structure to estrogen, it can affect hormone-related processes. Very bad for you, in other words.
