Post 'Today' Incites More Alarm over Water Bottles - Even Reusable Ones

First the media tell you plastic water bottles are bad for the environment, so they encourage you to drink tap water in reusable containers. Now some of those reusable containers aren't safe.

I didn't read the entire article but.
This is actually true. I have a sister who was studying to be a lab tech for criminal related things (the easiest way to explain this is to say like CSI, but in the lab). One of things they learned is that if you reuse the same water bottle over and over again, a chemical in the bottle dissolves into your water, and you drink it. If you continue using the same bottle for about a year you can become very ill (in some cases there has been loss of sight, temporary loss of hearing, and death is possible).

Just thought I'd share that.

When you buy a bottle of water in a clear plastic bottle, don't reuse it (recycle it). The end.
