Uv sterilizer can’t be used with latex, rubber or silicone?

Many websites state that uv rays deteriorate latex, rubber and silicone turning them yellow fast -Is this true? Most pump parts and baby bottles and bottle teats are made from these materials... does this mean we have to replace the pump part and bottles very quickly?

Mine does turn to yellow over time. As for bottle teats, I tend to replace them anyways as they tear cause my baby like to bite them. And pump parts you have to replace them anyways depending on how often you pump. Some parts need to be replaced monthly. This is so that you can pump efficiently https://exclusivepumping.com/when-to-replace-breast-pump-parts/

I never really notice how fast it turns yellow. To be honest I never really notice it turns yellow until I compare it the new parts. Hahah
