Why Should You Avoid Plastic Water Bottles?
The plastic materials that water bottles are made of include some chemicals that may cause endocrine disruption. Health risks are also involved in storing and drinking water in plastic bottles due to toxic effects and chemical contamination from plastics. These chemicals include bisphenol A and phthalates. These chemicals can leach out of the plastic bottles into the water we drink!

So how safe and healthy do you think you'd be without any oversight? You can't trust *anything* to be perfect. We alll have to take some responsibility for our own safety and health. So the FDA and EPA watch over our health and the health of our planet, and *we* watch over the EPA and FDA.

Especially water increasingly only available in plastic bottles. Plastic bottles are not good for long time storage, especially for fizzy drinks. The CO² is going to leak from the plastic botles. Which is why products have a shorter use before date than the same product in a glass bottle.
Instead of asking what causes cancer we should be asking what doesn't

Tap water is unfortunately worse in many areas.
This is good to know. I have used plastic bottles for a few years everytime I didn't have a glass bottle available. But I think there are different types of plastic bottles.

Right. “Other BPA-free plastics are also found by looking at the recycling codes imprinted on the underside of the product. Below are the BPA-free plastic codes to look for: Code 1 - Plastics made with PET or PETE or in layman's term, nylon. These plastics are commonly used for water bottles, cooking oil, spreads, and sodas.”

Stopped using bottled water about 5 years. Bought a Takeya flask and started filtering water from the tap. It tastes much better.
Problem is any plastic bottle leaks from ketchup to juicy juice to apple cider vinegar
Thanks! Great footnote. For example I wonder how healthy it is to live outside LA or a big city in the country side with no smog and unchecked car fumes??

I'm not aware of plastic water. Why would someone drink plastic water.
So, what water do you drink?
So is buying bottled water and them dumping the water into a different container like metal is that good? Or is the water ruined once it's placed in the bottle?
What about water filtration pitchers(like ex. BRITA)? Mine is all plastic. It is an active carbon filter with multiple layers of filtration. I bought it to filter out PFOA and PFAS from my tapwater! Any suggestions or better options?
I rarely buy bottled water. Two reason was the monumental waste world wide and to avoid water that’s been sitting in plastic for extended time. Went out I have a glass bottle with a silicone outer sleeve. I also don’t trust it’s all that better than tap or water that gone through a filter on your fridge
We used to keep water in plastic bottles in the refrigerator 60 years ago. When I complained that the water taste funny, mother just poopooed the notion. I started drinking the water directly from the tap until I got to Europe where I started drinking bottled water. I think the taste came from the added floride in the water and cold eating at the container and making the bottle "bleed".

It's extra leaching of bad products from the plastic if the bottle isn't filled soon after manufacture. There was a bunch of plastic water bottles recalled around 90 dues to the water company using bottles that sat empty for a long time before filling them.
Is there any information on the plastic microwave dishes included with frozen or fresh entrees? You know the ones that say poke the plastic film with a fork and microwave for 3 minutes. There is the film, the tray and the glue for sealing the film to the tray.

The answer is they are hazardous to your health. They contain phalates and BPA and when you heat them in the microwave the heat produces condensation underneath the film not the outside and the chemicals leach out of the film and fall from the inside into the food below the film and you ingest the chemicals with the food.

Just stay away from iron piping although it is more durable and problem free compared to the inferior piping material today but the problem with iron is when you use the hot water it leaches into the water and over time you will develop bronzing of the skin which is a classic sign that your vascular system is in very bad shape

One year eggs are good for you, next year it’s bad for your health. Perhaps we should return to an agricultural society when we grew our own food and got water from a well . . . Unless the water itself is causing cancer. Huuum?🤔

Physicians should be scientifically trained and able to make unbiased interpretations based on the preponderance of data and the quality of the investigations that generate that data. The preponderance of data on BPA simply does not support your inferences here. I know this based on 34 years of R&D & Quality Assurance experience in the food industry with no dog in this hunt. I was free and even encouraged to examine the data and conclude whatever I honestly thought the data supported. You’re cherry-picking studies and letting mob-think bias skew your conclusions. It’s so very sad to see this from someone with such potential. Unsubscribing as this casts a shadow over everything else you post.
