I read an article about reducing the amount of BPA in your bloodstream. It says that by taking a few simple steps, you can reduce your BPA levels by a large amount! The study showed a reduction of 60% on average.

{1} Eat more fresh food
{2} Store food in Glass, Stainless Steel or Ceramic
{3} Don't microwave in plastic
{4} Brew your coffee in a French Press (automatic coffee makers brew in plastic)
{5} Switch any plastic utensils to bamboo, wood, or stainless.
Most of these things we already do or have BPA free alternatives that we use. I had not even thought about my cooking utensils and added that to the above list. We got the original plastic tools from Marshall Fields as part of a wedding gift, so it is time for a change. We always has steel utensils for our meat set of dishes, so we only needed to replace our dairy tools. Plus I think that we can easily label our dairy with a wood burning tool.

Great tips. I already do most of these things. I was using a french press in the mornings, but I've recently gone back to my Keurig for convenience. I'm going to treat myself to taking the time for the french press again. Thanks for the reminder!
