I went to this site and found several related articles. The most *recent*
of which doesn't seem to claim that it is 'junk science' at all. It notes
that several studies in the US and overseas have shown similar findings
regarding the leaching of bisphenol-A. I'm a little confused as to what
that site is really saying.

I recommend a certain brand of bottle for milk storage (and I use them
myself) so I have an inquiry in to the manufacturer to find out what
material is used in their manufacture.

I'd be interested in what others are recommending for breast milk storage
as I know that some of the fats and antibodies have been shown to adhere
to glass baby bottles.

Thanks for the heads up!
