So here we are, a year after the first negative story about BPA (biphenol A) in bottles and the issue still has not been resolved. Hundreds of thousands of products, mostly water bottles and other drinkware, has been shredded, sold off, or thrown into landfill. Is it safe? Is it dangerous? I remember when everyone was sooo happy that BPA filled polycarbonate bottles arrived on the scene due to the durability and overall perceived value. Then "poof" they're terrible! Everything in all the reports state that it's heating up the plastic that releases the majority of the trace amounts of BPA. So, just don't drink warm or hot beverages, or put them in the microwave, or leave them in the sun... As far as I'm concerned don't risk it, but don't obsess about it either. There are trace amounts of BPA in tons of things, none of which I'm going to touch on here lest you never eat or drink again (how do those disposable plastic utensils get so rigid anyways?). As a bottom line, with everything we know to this point today stainless steel is your best bet. You have to have the budget for it, but overall it may be worth it.
