The redesigned cap will create a vastly superior cup that you will
LOVE.
Meet The Safe Sippy™ stainless steel drinking cup – one small step in creating a less toxic world for our children. The Safe Sippy™ cup breaks away from the all-plastic sippy cup designs of the past. From the clean, non-leaching stainless steel cup to the unique safety features to the plastics free of Bisphenol A and other harmful chemicals, The Safe Sippy™ cup was created to accomplish one simple goal: Clean In, Clean Out.
The Safe Sippy™ stainless steel drink cup was created in response to the growing body of emerging scientific evidence about the dangers of toxic chemicals used to make many plastics. Stainless steel because it is clean, stable and durable. Because stainless steel is stable and inert, it does not interact with the foods and fluids it comes into contact with. So what you put in is what you get out.

-
Ages 6 months and up
-
Lid is made of safe plastic
-

Speech experts recommend straw-shaped spouts on sippy cups for better speech development rather than wide drinking spouts found on many sippy cups.The Safe Sippy has a straw-shaped spout.
-
Rubbery sleeve around base of sippy provides insulation for keeping cold drinks cold and serves as a grip for small hands.
-
Contact between water and plastic is kept to a minimum, All plastics used in constructing the Safe Sippy have been certified free of Bisphenol A, phthalates and DEHA
- Cap is made out of Polypropylene, #5 plastic. PP is the most stable of all plastics.
When plastic is heated – in the dishwasher, microwave or even in a hot car – chemicals leach out of the plastic into our foods. The entire list of negative health effects associated with these chemicals is too long to cover here, and The Safe Sippy™ stainless steel cup is only one small step in stemming their flow. But it is well known that chemicals such as Bisphenol A [BPA], DEHA and the class of chemicals known as phthalates have the most damaging effects on little bodies that are still developing. The list of health problems associated with these substances is long and growing. They include: developmental problems; ADHD; premature sexual maturation in young females; breast tumors in women; particularly virulent forms of prostate cancer; reproductive problems in both sexes; learning disabilities; kidney damage; liver cancer and much more.

ABOUT PLASTICS CHEMICALS
Bisphenol A (BPA). A chemical used to make plastic shatterproof, BPA mimics the human hormone estrogen and has been linked to a number of serious health issues, including: early onset of puberty and sexual maturation in females; changes in gender-specific behaviors; ADHD; breast tumors; decreased testosterone; decreased sperm production; learning disabilities; and prostate cancer.
DEHA. A “plasticizer” (plastic softener), DEHA exposure is linked to negative effects on the liver, kidney, spleen, bone formation and weight. It is also a possible human carcinogen that attacks the liver.
Phthalates. Another “plasticizer” used to soften plastics, phthalates have been shown to disrupt hormonal balances. In 2005 the European Parliament partially or totally banned six separate phthalates for use in children’s toys. Phthalates have been linked to cancer, dramatic changes in male sexual characteristics when exposure takes place in utero (during pregnancy), premature breast development in young girls and lowered sperm count in males.
Why is BPA unsafe?:
BPA begins to seep out of plastics and contaminate whatever they hold. It used to be belived that
this only happened if the plastic was scratched or heated, but recent reports show that BPA leaks in even the newest plastic.
About 2 years ago, scientific reports began to emerge that linked BPA to problems in the endocrine, reproductive and metabolic systems. These problems included prostate and breast cancer, impaired immune function, early onset of puberty, obesity, fertility issues and diabetes. There are preliminary findings that show that a folic acid supplement can counteract the effects of the chemical, but nothing is proven in that area yet.
Are plastics okay as long as you don’t heat them in the microwave?
No. It is true that you can prolong the releasing of BPA by not heating your bottle, but that also means no sterilizing or washing in hot water. It is recommended that you throw out bottles after they are old, show wear or have a scratch.
