Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Water from the taps in most of the US is among the safest in the world. Bottled water has no health advantage over tap water in most of the US, Canada, or western Europe. Bisphenol-A however does remain a potential problem for almost anyone. Not only is it used for plastic bottles (though not the kind used for soft drinks or much bottled water, which are sold in polyethylene terephthalate), resins based partly with bisphenol-A are used to line the insides of many cans used for food, beer, soft drinks, even baby formula. It is also used in the lining some dentists place on children's teeth. For more on bisphenol-A, please read www.ourstolenfuture.org, or search for bisphenol-A on www.EnvironmentalHealthNews.org Re: Bisphenol A - Posted on Healthandenvironment.orgPosted by: " a Townsend " kmtown2003@... kmtown2003Date: Wed Dec 12, 2007 9:11 am ((PST))Okay, so how do we get are water? We can't drink water from are taps, we can't drink from plastic bottles. I can't afford glass bottle water. All the filtration systems use plastic. What do we do?a _________________________________________________________________ The best games are on Xbox 360.
