Since the banning of BPA in baby products many are looking for ways to cut down their families use of plastics and exposure to BPA. Problem is as parents we have become reliant on 'tupperware' (apparently the biggest non food product sold at ASDA). Quite rightly we are encouraged to make use of left overs and what better way to do that by using stacks of plastic containers. However, this is followed up by warnings about storing and cooking food in plastic, and hormone disruption associated with BPA leaking into our food stuffs. So confusing!!

On a recent visit to Natural High in Koh Samui I fell in love with coconut water. At the time I was on a fairly intense detox so was grateful to consume anything frankly, but in those difficult moments it was coconut water that gave me a lift. As soon as I got home I did some research to see where I could get some (seeing as the streets of south london are not lined with them in quite the same way). What I hadn't realised in Thailand was just how many nutritional benefits there were.

The National Childbirth Trust are urgently calling for baby bottles containing the Bisphenol A (BPA) chemical to be removed from UK shelves. Scientists, charities and representatives from the National Childbirth Trust said there now is "compelling" scientific evidence to demonstrate the link between the chemical breast cancer and other conditions. Scientists have long been divided on whether Bisphenol A causes health problems in people, after lab studies showed in changes to the reproductive system in mice.
