Wow, Jerry. Angry much? The only thing Robert was doing was pointing out that there is research out there that claims plastics containing BPA might be safe if you are using them in a specific manner.

He wasn’t angry about it, he didn’t call anyone names and he certainly did not belittle anyone. Though you did. Chill out.

Also, nobody CARES about anyone. Sure there are the obvious exceptions. For instance, I’m sure your parents care very much about you. Maybe even your grandparents. I’m sure your children care about you. But if you think for one minute that any researcher, scientist, CEO or political figure gives a rat’s ass about the average human being, then you are seriously disalousioned.

All you need to worry about is whether or not YOU THINK you are doing the best thing for your child. That’s it. If you believe that the BabyCook will poison your kid and give him brain tumors, then don’t use it. If you believe that the BabyCook is a good device that will not only make your life easier, but will be beneficial to the health and well being of your child, then use it.

And no Kat, I don’t feed my child “chips and chocolate bars for breakfast.” Because that’s just silly. My point was that there is no sense in getting all worked up over a product when there is no hard evidence that any of the chemicals used in the production of that product actually harm anyone. And for all we know, the very air we breathe is slowly killing us (and I’m pretty sure it is). So as long as it isn’t leaching sulfuric acid and I’m not seeing blood drip out of my son’s anus, then I’m pretty certain that this item is safe enough. But you know what isn’t safe? Holding my son upside down over a cliff. But I don’t do that because I know that’s just stupid.

Using the BabyCook: Smart.

I’m glad you were not MY Dad Robert. People like you have no clue. The only reason we remain relatively healthy is because we have people around that CARE about what chemicals do to us and try to make laws that prevent companies from using things that have been proven to be unsafe. If you are so against this kind of thing then why don’t you give your kids lead painted toys and glue cell phones to THEIR ears? If you are so confident that these things are not so bad then why don’t you expose your kids and see how they turn out? OR we can figure out what is bad and try to change things.

I agree that you can’t protect your children from everything, but what’s the harm in protecting them from thing that you can? If you know that one plastic (or cleaning product, or foods, etc) is much safer that another, why go with the questionable one, especially when your kids are involved? It’s just common sense. You wouldn’t feed your children chips and chocolate bars for breakfast when you know that cereal and milk is much better, would you?

According to Beaba’s own website, the baby cook is not made of Polycarbonate. The basket is made of polypropylene and the bowl is polysulfone.

Oh who cares! Do you have any clue as to how many chemicals and foreign substances we as human beings are ingesting, breathing in, and generally being subjected to on a daily basis? You see these people (probably you) walking around with hand sanitizers and spraying anti-bacterial solution on just about everything they own. It’s a sickness. And how far can local and national governments go (at least in this country) in telling us how we need to live our lives and raise our children? Quite frankly, I have no interest in having my infant get a mandatory flu shot, but because our state government can pass what ever laws they feel like passing… when ever they feel like passing them… well, the rest of us just have to bow down and take it up the rear. Look, you can’t protect you child from the environment around him/her. You can do your best to raise them and teach them and hopefully they eventually go out into the world better people because of what you as a parent has done. But you can not protect them from every little thing in their surrounding environment. Have you done a thorough testing of your local water supply lately? How about the soil on your land? Know what goes into the latex paint you applied to your walls? How about your microwave? think that’s 100% safe? Do you place you child in the basement when ever you need to quickly nuke a snack or defrost an item? Do your children watch television? Go on the internet? Read magazines and other sources of information? Guess what? You are not the only one raising your child anymore! Society is getting their hands in on it more and more. do you think THAT is doing your child any good for the long term? How about power lines and cellular antennas? While you may not live adjacent to any of these, I can bet your home isn’t all that far away from at least one. Speaking of cells, does your child have one? If not old enough yet, will you get him/her one so that they may use it in certain situations (call if late, emergency, etc). think holding one of those to their head is safe? How about your food? Do you raise your own cattle, chickens, pigs, etc? Have your own garden? Maybe shop only from a local farm? Because if you don’t, then chances are you are ingesting something… ANYTHING… foreign. These bottles, whether they be Dr. Brown or Advent, and this Babycook are really the least of your worries. Your children are going to become ill from time to time. They may contract a serious disease or even (lord forbid) get a form of cancer. Who knows? Drinking tap water (no matter what type of filtration system you have) may be enemy #1. And I’m sure you, being the overly conscious person you are, do not purchase bottled water due to it’s negative impact on the environment. So now what? No water ever? Seriously, get a grip and just buy the thing. Contrary to what “christi” posts, it really is quite an amazing piece of machinery. A bit small, but my wife and I make due. Very handy, easy to clean, and just does an all around terrific job. Take it easy. Life goes to fast. You can’t worry about EVERYTHING!

Maria, I believe that research shows that BPA is released when the bottles are heated and that might be less of a concern when using your food processors and blenders.
