pediatricians recommend stainless steel or glass as a healthier choice

Steel vs. Plastic

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)—a group of 67,000 pediatricians—says that harmful chemicals found in plastic interfere with children's hormones, growth and brain development. Stainless steel rules for kids' health—no chemicals transfer into food, just pure, clean eats.
