Don’t Drink From that “BPA-free” Water Bottle
The toxic side effects from BPA made headlines last year. It was found that bisphenol-A (BPA) – a compound used to make plastic products and epoxy resins – was linked to cancer, early onset of childhood puberty, and the altercation of neural activity.
To prevent exposure to BPA, many consumers made the switch from plastic water bottles to reusable aluminum water bottles. However, I just read an article in which Sigg – one of the aluminum bottle manufactures – recently admitted that the epoxy liners used in its bottles contained traces of BPA. The bottles in question were manufactured prior to 2008 and have since been redesigned, but it’s a good idea to check your stock of aluminum water bottles.
The article sent me flying into the kitchen to check out my own aluminum water bottle collection (of which I only own one 
as it was given to me as a gift…but I do have other BPA-free plastic bottles 
). And to my relief, I found that it is a Kleen Kanteen brand.
