We all know how important staying hydrated is to our health. Many people now carry around a colorful, hard plastic or stainless steel water bottle with them everywhere they go. They accommodate the busy lifestyles that many people have. They are easy to carry to work, to the gym, and convenient for kids to carry to sports practices. They are also a green alternative to disposable, clear water bottles. However, studies now show that these trendy plastic bottles, while being friendly to the environment, may actually be harmful to your health.
Harmful chemicals like bisphenol-A (BPA) can leach from the plastic. Exposure to BPA has been linked to conditions such as irregular heart beat and arrhythmia. It has also been linked to diabetes, cancer, heart disease and development problems in children.
Stainless steel water bottles offer a solution that is safe for you and also for the environment. Safe water bottles contain no BPA that can leach into the liquid inside. Many manufacturers offer stainless steel water bottles in a myriad of colors, patterns and styles to fit any age and personality.
Don’t be fooled. Aluminum water bottles are not safe water bottles. Aluminum bottles can also leach chemicals into the liquid inside, so they must be lined with plastic, which contains BPA. Stainless steel water bottles, when they are stainless steel both inside and out, are the safest water bottles. There are no liners, and therefore, no exposure to harmful BPA.
Stainless steel water bottles contain no bisphenol-A (BPA) which can leach into the liquid inside, and cause health problems such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease and arrhythmia. These safe water bottles are available in a huge variety of sizes, colors, and patters to suit anyone’s personality. Not all metal bottles are stainless steel water bottles. Aluminum water bottles do not offer the BPA-free protection that stainless steel bottles do. Aluminum bottles have to be coated, as exposure to the chemicals in aluminum has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. They are normally coated with plastic, which contains BPA, and does not offer the safety that pure stainless steel water bottles do.
