Why is it important to use BPA free containers?
When ingested it is believed that Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor in humans; however, the FDA maintains that BPA containers are safe. Bisphenol A is used to make polycarbonate containers, and BPA may leech into food/water stored in the container. BPA may leech from containers when they are heated as in baby bottles in a microwave.

BPA, also known as Bisphenol-A, is a chemical commonly found in shatterproof plastics and food and beverage cans. BPA has been receiving attention lately because research is linking it to breast and prostate cancer, obesity, learning disabilities and heart disease. It is commonly found in baby bottles, plastic sports bottles and food and beverage cans.

Is polyester bpa free?
Every product will be different. Polyester can contain BPA and I have heard of BPA found in clothing products. There's probably no way to know if your polyester contains BPA unless the manufacturer has come out since the BPA issue became known and states that their products contain no BPA. Hopefully it will be removed from all products someday along with Fluoride, HFCS, Aspartame, MSG, and all the other chemicals there knowingly poisoning us with.
