Is Silicone In Baby Products And Bakeware Really Safe?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, California, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2011 -- SAFbaby.com (Safe Alternative For Baby and Child) recently released their exclusive interview with Jamey Lacy regarding silicone safety for babies and children. So many baby products are made of silicone, products that children mouth for hours a day, and since there are not any studies available to prove it's safety, Samantha Fox Olson and Sandra Blum were thrilled to find some answers.

Jamey Lacy has been studying silicone for over 5 years and she has spoke at the IOM (Institute of Medicine) in DC on the topic of silicone safety as well. Their interview additionally touches on silicone breast implant safety, and cookware made from silicone, as well as baby products made from silicone.

A couple eye-raising quotes from Jamey Lacy that are taken from the interview:

"I have been writing professionally for over 30 years (since my teens) and spent 5 years researching silicone implants (various types) and interviewing scientists, doctors, & reviewing hundreds of studies. Findings: Silicone is manufactured with 30 to 40 chemicals that YES, over time do leach out into surrounding environment."

“I did five years of extensive research (interviewing Scientists, Doctors, Researchers, former  implant industry leaders, and hundreds of patients) for a book I was writing on silicone and saline breast (and other) implants.

Over the course of that research, I discovered internal documents by silicone manufacturer, Dow Corning, that showed they did at least 2 separate LONG TERM Studies on groups of women implanted with their devices. Studies were to be for 20 yrs. but were aborted after 12 years due to overwhelming problems the patients had after receiving the implants.

100%  had to have their original implants removed due to ruptures and other serious side effects. Many of these women had to have surgery for ovarian cysts and hysterectomies and developed other inexplicable health problems ( “study patients” were in their late 20′s/late 30′s).

FDA knew but media & public were never informed! Nothing changed – devices causing same problem/studies geared to hide the worst.”

Additionally the interview touches on what some of the 40 chemicals that make up silicone are, why there is not readily available information on this subject (as of now with this interview!) and the safest alternative pacifier for babies too.
