As you may or may not know, plastic water bottles are considered unsafe according to the US FDA.“Water Bottle Safety – FDA to Review BPA Safety   Wednesday June 10, 2009

Did the plastics and food processor industries have too much influence over the US FDA deciding that bisphenol A (BPA) used in the production of water bottles, baby bottles and canned goods was safe? FDA chief Margaret Hamburg, MD has decided to review the BPA data. Canada and Minnesota have banned BPA in baby bottles and other states would like to follow suit.

The good news is that it is easy to find BPA-free water bottles. The bad news is that researchers say almost everyone has detectable levels of BPA in their bodies. Higher levels have been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and liver enzyme abnormalities.High BPA Levels Linked to Increased Risk for Heart Disease and Diabetes

BPA was used in clear hard plastic bottles. But manufacturers have responded to consumer concerns by reformulating their water bottles and baby bottles and labeling them BPA-free. If your water bottle was opaque, it was always BPA-free. If it was clear and hard and had a 7 inside a triangle on the bottom, it might contain BPA. If the research convinces you, replace it with a new BPA-free water bottle.”
