Water bottles can be dangerous

Did you know that water bottles made of plastic can contain dangerous chemicals?

A substance called BPA (bisphenol A) is present in some of the plastic used to make the bottles.

Study:
Exposure within the womb to bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical used in the production of plastics, caused changes linked with diseases such as obesity, cancer and diabetes, according to studies by a team from Duke University Medical Centre, North Carolina.

It's probably best to use stainless steel or even better glass.  Try klean kanteen or do a search for stainless steel water bottles.
