Avoiding BPA: Opt for BPA-free products clearly labeled as such. Use glass, stainless steel, or porcelain containers instead of plastic, especially for food and drinks. Avoid canned foods, as many are lined with BPA-containing resin. Never heat plastic containers in microwaves or dishwashers, as this can cause BPA to leach out. Check recycling codes on plastics, and avoid those with code 3 or 7, which may contain BPA.
