Dangerous Feeding Bottle?

I hear this from my friend. It seems that a lot of feeding bottle for baby that is made from plastic is not safe for baby. The reason is because it contained BPA or Bisphenol A.

Researchers tested 19 baby bottles purchased in nine U.S. states and Canada. Bottle brands included Avent, Dr. Brown, Evenflo, Disney, Gerber and Playtex. When the bottles were heated to 175 degrees F (80 degrees C), every one of them leached bisphenol A at about 5 to 7 parts per billion. The report also suggested that because of the chemical makeup of bisphenol A, it may leach more in fatty or acidic liquids, such as milk or apple juice, than in water.

Three URLs below has great info on BPA.

I think it is best to use glass milk bottle.
