BPA is an endocrine disruptor – a substance that interferes with the production, secretion, transport, action, function and elimination of natural hormones.

Why is this a problem? These pesky “fake” hormones can cause…

::Reproductive disorders, affecting egg maturation

::Male impotence, risking erectile dysfuntion

::Killed brain cells

What I didn’t know is that BPA isn’t limited to food packaging & storage. It’s in medical equipment, safety equipment, electronics, and more [source]. The scary thing? The items don’t need to be heated to transfer into our bodies. They emit BPA by just being.

There’s 1 super easy step we can all take; especially in the summer months, to reduce our exposure to this chemical… use BPA-free popsicle molds!

Here are a couple of my favorite BPA-free popsicle molds::
