BPA-Free Camelbak Plastic Water Bottle
Bisphenol-A (BPA) has been in the news a lot lately, as governments are finally admitting this hormone disruptor is bad for humans, particularly children. Senators Charles Schumer and Diane Feinstein have just introduced a
bill to ban BPA in all children's products, and the US House of Representatives is investigating the FDA's claims that BPA is safe for human consumption. Canada declared BPA a "
dangerous substance".
When I first learned about BPA, I immediately switched my family's water bottles to Klean Kanteens, including sippy cups. Now, Camelbak has created a BPA-Free version of their Better Water Bottle. This plastic bottle is dishwasher safe (top shelf), lightweight, durable, BPA-free, pthalate-free, and made of a new Triton material. It has a standard cap, so it will fit backpacking water filters that require this for attachment, like mine. Now I really can toss the Nalgene bottles and go camping without lugging heavy stainless steel bottles around.

I'm making a permanant switch away from plastics before they tell us the next chemical it's leaching! It doesn't really matter to me if it's at "safe" levels or not - I know I don't have to worry with my Klean Kanteen or Sigg.
I think we should all consider that just about everything we eat touches some kind of plastic on the way to our tables.
