ANYTHING ON STAINLESS STEEL

July 1, 2010 – The Baby Street Journal

There are quite a few benefits to making use of stainless metal infant bottles instead of the substitute plastic, BPA containing child bottles and glass infant bottles. The key reason being the reduced exposure to BPA, but stainless metal little one bottles are also quite durable, uncomplicated to clean, heat up quickly and normally consist of up to 60% recycled materials (and are 100% recyclable).

Although problems about the hazards of the exposure of BPA to humans have been suspected because the 1930’s, it’s only recently that the worries have gained sufficient attention to prompt retailers and manufacturers to eliminate BPA products. Some of the problems of BPA consist of developmental issues in children, early onset of puberty and birth defects.

More tests are for the way, but within the meantime, the FDA has recommended that reasonable steps be taken to minimize the amount of BPA we are exposed to.

Steps that the FDA plans to take would be to facilitate the development of substitute linings of infant formula cans along with other foods can linings which don’t comprise BPA and supporting the shift to additional regulations surrounding the use of BPA in our foodstuff handling products.

Stainless metal is a quite versatile material that may take a wonderful deal of abuse, wear, and tear. It doesn’t rust, corrode, and is really strong. Stainless metal continues to be developed to resist several corrosive environments. It ensures that our workplaces are safe, that buildings last longer, and that our foodstuff preparation surfaces are hygienic. It may be the strongest material in jewelry generating and has turn out to be a really common option for those buying jewelry and keepsake items.

Another step by the FDA is the support on the industry’s actions to stop producing child bottles and infant feeding cups that incorporate BPA, although this might take some time. Alternatives presently accessible for feeding babies consist of glass bottles and stainless steel child bottles, the potential for glass breaking is wonderful with an infant handling it, so that latter might be a far more effective alternative.

Made from the purest elements on the earth (Chromium, Nitrogen, Nickel, etc.), Stainless steel little one bottles are naturally resistant to bacterial growth, and are dishwasher risk-free to promote easy, quick cleaning and sterilize easily. This form of stainless steel is applied for surgical devices, dental implants, foodstuff containers, etc. It truly is 100% BPA free  and plastic free.

Stainless steel newborn bottles also heat contents quickly basically by placing them inside a container of warm water, or running them under the warm water tap. The easy-to-hold bottles also fit most warming devices, giving parents ultimate freedom in temperature control.

“GREEN” STAINLESS STEEL OFFERS HOPE TO PROMOTE HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT AND ENERGY CONSERVATION

RIVERDALE, NY, June 17, 2007 –/WORLD-WIRE/–

With increasing fuel costs, and energy conservation awareness reaching new heights, the desperate search for innovative products and methods to “save the environment” continues. But could the answer be right under our noses? Jason Stile, CEO of JLS Global explains how stainless steel could be a viable solution because it’s “green” and it’s already here.

Many consumers are not aware that stainless steel is a green product; not the color green, but green for the environment. A company called MyStainlessSteel.com has grasped this concept and is educating consumers about the benefits of utilizing stainless steel to help their home and their environment.

“Stainless steel is a reusable product that’s often overlooked. It can withstand extreme temperatures, doesn’t stain or rust, and it can be melted and recycled. Consumers and companies can often choose stainless steel items at affordable prices, but will enjoy the long-lasting benefits for many, many years,” states Jason Stile of MyStainlessSteel.com and JLS Global.

For years, companies and individuals have been discovering new ways to recycle. There are local grocers that offer durable recyclable bags for their customers to take home and bring with them each time they shop. There are landfills that are organized by the types of recyclable materials. There are even labeled trash cans on city streets in many areas of the United States and other countries where passersby can separate their garbage items that can be recycled. These trends, if followed by even one state or nation completely, could significantly improve the environment.

Stainless steel is a popular material used in a variety of products that can be melted time and time again and reformed into a new product. Plastic, on the other hand, is made from oil. Oil is a serious issue right now and is causing many worldwide problems. Plastic is also a major pollutant when manufactured or disposed of. Companies and individuals who want to make a difference in the environment can easily do so by simply choosing stainless steel products over plastic and other non-recyclable materials.

Stile states, “We all collectively change our environment even with small things like the decision between a plastic fork and a stainless steel one. MyStainlessSteel.com celebrates stainless steel and its many benefits by offering a variety of products — all made of stainless steel — to its customers.”

STAINLESS STEEL BABY BOTTLES ARE THE BEST ALTERNATIVE TO PLASTIC [AND GLASS]

Pubished April 06, 2009 by:

Even though they have been out and about for some time now, not as many mothers are aware of stainless steel baby bottles as they should be. While at first I saw nothing wrong  with feeding my babies with plastic bottles, all of the news and research that was surfacing about the dangers of chemicals in plastic alarmed me. That was the turning point for me and that is when I started looking for alternative bay bottles.

But just what is it about the plastic baby bottles that could be so dangerous to your precious little one? The harmful chemical bisphenol A (BPA) is found within a lot of the plastic baby products that are sold. Everything from the mattress liner to the baby bottle, there is a good chance your baby is coming into an extremely harmful chemical. It is so harmful in fact that the Canadian government placed a ban on the use of BPA in baby bottles sold within their country. But what is America doing? The government is doing a lot of things, but nothing about the use of BPA in baby bottles.

Wal-Mart and Toys ‘R’ Us has reported that they would be phasing out the products for baby feeding that contain BPA. This means that I can still find unsafe plastic baby bottles being sold. So what about alternative baby bottles? When I started searching I found that I had two options. There are the glass baby bottles and then there are the stainless steel baby bottles. At first I did not like the idea of the stainless steel baby bottles and preferred the idea of the glass. In my mind, glass was safer in terms of possible chemicals and poisoning.

While I found that glass is in fact a great alternative to the plastic bottles, I learned that stainless steel baby bottles were just as safe as any other alternative baby bottles. The difference between the two is that the glass could harm the baby in ways the plastic or stainless steel baby bottles could not. As my baby started to carry around bottles, there seemed to be an endless amount of bottles hitting the ground. Imagine if one of those glass bottles broke and the harm that could be done to the baby.

This is why I decided to stick with the stainless steel baby bottles. They are just as earth friendly and baby friendly as glass. And the best part about these alternative baby bottles is that they will not poison my  baby with BPA. It is my responsibility and the responsibility of every parent to make sure that their baby is safe from all danger. Until the government steps in to place a ban on the use of BPA, we have to protect ourselves.
