Plastic containers are still a bad bet as well. Just as with plastic water bottles harmful chemicals can pass from the plastic container into your food!

Thanks! I get it, plastic bottles is a bad combo (especially because it’s a constant exposure) but what about things like plastic containers like a Tupperware? (i do have most of my containers in glass) the new ones even stink a lot more.

Thats a tuff question Mike. The sad fact about some of the chemicals found in plastic water bottles is they are potentially more dangerous at low doses then at high doses as cited here:

To be honest with you I suggest avoiding plastic water bottles as whole. The bottles ultimately end up at the dump which is a lose lose no matter how you look at it. Plus why pay extra when you can get the same stuff out of the tap? My advice is to buy an aluminum water bottle. I have one made my Sigg and I love it! You can pick them up at REI. Anyone else have any ideas or input?

I know that plastic is very bad for your health but when it’s unavoidable exposure isn’t it better to have an old container or packaging that already leached some of the chemicals out then a brand new one? Your thoughts please.
