No More BPA Campaign

Breast Cancer UK have launched the No More BPA campaign calling for the Government to take action to stop BPA being used in the manufacture of baby bottles.

Scientists have, for the last decade, been highlighting potential links from exposure to BPA with increased risk of breast cancer and other chronic health conditions. Newborn babies are not able to clear the chemical as quickly as adults and due to their bodies being in a rapid stage of growth they may be more susceptible to the harmful effects of BPA.

Breast Cancer UK and over 60% of the public agree that the British Government should not allow BPA baby bottles to be sold in the UK.

No More Breast Cancer

In 2005 Breast Cancer UK launched the No More Breast Cancer campaign with the publication of Breast Cancer: an environmental disease. The intention was to:

• Challenge a number of prevailing views and attitudes about breast cancer.
• Establish a novel view of breast cancer as a preventable rather than inevitable disease.
• Address the under-acknowledged and non-lifestyle factors associated with breast cancer.
• Provide a right-to-know document, presenting essential information to the general public.
• Challenge the government to prioritise the primary prevention of breast cancer.
