Baby Teethers May Leach Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, Study Says.

reports on a study conducted by researchers at the American Chemical Society and published in Environmental Science & Technology finding that baby teethers may contain “endocrine-disrupting chemicals.” The researchers found that every one of the 59 baby teethers they tested “contained bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol S (BPS) or bisphenol F (BPF), and most contained various parabens, as well as the antimicrobials triclosan and triclocarban.” The study authors estimated that a baby’s exposure to the chemicals would be at lower levels than “those of what European regulators consider safe.” http://www.foxnews.com/health/2016/12/07/baby-teethers-may-contain-low-levels-bpa-study-finds.html
