    I could swear there was a thread on this already...but I can't find it.

    Health Canada released the names of the bottles they tested in the study last month. The study seems a little extreme..nearly 300hrs at 60c. Who keeps milk in a bottle that long and that hot? I don't see Avent on the list of tested bottles either!

    We use the Born Free Glass Bottles. Phewf. That's a bit surprising about the Dr. Brown's because they are typically one of the 'higher end' baby bottles as far as I know.

    What a bizarre study... to quote a section that caught my eye about Green to Grow:

    "While Health Canada found minute trace -- 0.0014 part per billion -- after two hours at 60 C, there were no detectable levels after 94 hours. All studies involving polycarbonate bottles show an upward tick in leaching over time and with higher temperatures.

    "I just don't know how you could go from detected to non-detected," Aronoff said Friday. "I just don't have faith in these test results."

    I totally agree - the results of these tests are completely out of whack.
