Comments on: Battle of the BPA Free Sippy Cups – A Review http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/04/bpa-free-safe-sippy-cups/ A blog for natural families with green values Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:58:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Tina http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/04/bpa-free-safe-sippy-cups/comment-page-3/#comment-140182 Tina Thu, 04 Mar 2010 19:38:48 +0000 http://www.naturemoms.com/blog/2007/09/04/bpa-free-safe-sippy-cups/#comment-140182 I just started a small online website geared towards organic and going green. It mostly offers items for babies and toddler with a few items for mommy and daddy but of course in time I would love to offer more. I would love to know what additional products you would recommend to add to the site. I loved reading your reviews and comments on the BPA bottles. I started the site because like you, I couldn't stand that there were so many health concerns out there, one being cancer (runs in my family and mom passed from it) and not too many choose to do anything about it. We adopted a newborn girl and I decided a couple years before I wanted to give her more than I was able to give my older sons. A better understanding of organic and going green. What I hear the most is that it is more expensive. At first it can be but in the long run everyone especially themselves benefit. Less health problems from pesticides etc and the Earth benefits as well. Aren't our children worth it? Aren't we? Isn't Earth?

If you open the cup and look inside, at the very top there is a plastic ring (part of the whole handle assembly) and just underneath it is a small bead of silicone "caulk", or a gasket, or whatever you want to call it. My husband was drying the cup after a wash and he discovered all sorts of black gunk trapped just under that gasket. Presumably it's the bacteria ridden remnants of a years worth of milk that became trapped under that seal. This really freaked us out and the Foogo's are in the trash now. Oh, also, before this discovery, one of the cups began leaking profusely during regular use, not even when being held upside down. No amount of realigning the spout, tightening the lid, etc. could correct the leak. It appeared to be leaking from underneath the plastic handle assembly. I just wanted to let you know just in case you wanted to reevaluate your love of the Foogo.

Some products don't even say they have these nano particles in them when indeed they do. So this keeps me away from the foogo. A glass sippy cup would be awesome, I use the glass baby bottles. And besides , even if plastics are bpa free, plastics always retain nasty odors, whether from food or even dishwasher soaps. the thermos foogo seem nice, but if you read the label it says it inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria( i am pretty sure the plastic contains silver nano particles) these particles are supposed to kill bacteria and they are in numerous products today (band aids, gym socks, washing machine filters,etc…) and there is a controversy on whether these are safe for people.
