BPA- inceases the risk for breast, ovarian and prostate cancer

The Canadian Federal government has announced its intention to ban the import and sale of plastic baby bottles containing bisphenol A. Several studies have found that the chemical, also known as BPA, can leach into a bottle's contents, increasing the risk for breast, ovarian and prostate cancer, even at low doses. A ban on BPA would make Canada the first country in the world to take such measures.
