I used glass bottles with all four of the babies.

So did I and I can't give you an exact reason why, I had access to both. I just prefered the glass ones. I felt like the plastic ones were never really clean I guess.

I've been told the whole thing was a ploy to switch the public from sugar to the high fructose corn syrup (HFC).

I moved to NY from the Northwest this last year, and I'm looking forward to "Passover Coke", made with cane sugar instead of the HFCS! In the market area I live in, there's bound to be a supply of it.

“It’s so unfortunate that I even had to make this choice,” she said. “I feel angry by the fact that bisphenol A has been shown to contribute to health issues and yet the companies still make baby bottles with it.”

Yeah, well lady, glass is just as bad. Anyone who has drunk or anyone that will ever drink out of glass will die.

The “test” is worthless as it doesn’t say what sort of containers the water was “boiled” in. [aluminum, stainless, etc; glass, plastic, etc]

The potted plants obviously were watered to different saturation levels.

It was a childhood experiment; anybody want to try this at home?

I have never seen a glass container change properties, but I have seen plenty of plastic food containers change.

I would agree....but, then we’d be considered “weird.”

We’ve switched to glass baby bottles for the toddler, and have eliminated most plastics but are continuing to weed out more. Thought N might be interested in this article.
