Re: OT: reusing water bottles????

[Guest guest]

the clear plastic water bottles are toxic. they have bisphenol -A.

The cloudy, opaque bottles don't have bisphenol-A. My

understanding is that reusing of plastic bottles is dangerous

because the bacteria from your mouth gets into the bottles and can

build up over time and reuse. Unless you can clean the bottles in

such a way that you are sure there is no bacteria left in the bottle

or on the lip I wouldn't do it. Glass would be a better alternative

for reuse. Anne

Much better to use glass bottles for your water, plastic leaches into

the water, I like the GT Kombucha bottles, they are a nice size glass

bottle to carry around. Even stainless steel leaches nickel into the

water, glass is best choice.
