Doctors love to come out with the latest-and-greatest warnings. And while it can be frustrating to hear conflicting information about whether butter is good for you or not, as an example, the prime reason for this is that research keeps getting better. As doctors, scientists, and researchers have better equipment and methods to do their research, they continue to refine their results and publish it for general consumption.

But as we discover how everything around the house can give us cancer or kill us, it can become frustrating and aggravating. As new information comes at us like a machine gun, it is hard to keep up – especially for parents who want to do the best they can for their little ones.

After finishing a meal, my family always puts leftovers in a plastic container. We then store that in the fridge and heat it up the next day for lunch. It’s a great way to save some money and prevent things from going to waste.

New research tells us this is a terrible idea. We should never use these plastic containers and heat food up in them because they put our children’s health in danger. This research comes from the Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and may inspire you to clear out your cabinets.

Over the last decade, the general public began to learn about the dangers of plastics. You’ve heard about BPA and how it can negatively affect your health. And celebrities are jumping on the trend, including Kourtney Kardashian.
