Which bottled water/juice uses the safest plastic?

[Guest guest]

You hear about plastic leaching into the water or juice. Appreciate

which companies use safe plastic. I know plastics go by number, so pls

add that if you know which one is being used

The info below is from Holistic Pediatrics for Parents by Randall

Neustaedter, OMD, North Atlantic Books page 72:

 

Relatively safe:

#1 ... PET, used only once

#2 and #4 polyethylene

 

Unsafe:

#5 polypropylene (catsup bottles, yogurt containers)

#6 polystyrene (Styrofoam)

#7 polycarbonate (Nalgene) water bottles

 

Never use:

Food or drinks heated in plastic containers in a microwave

Styrofoam cups (#6 polystyrene) for hot liquids

#7 polycarbonate (Nalgene) water bottles

Plastic baby bottles (If you must use bottles, use glass baby bottles

with silicone, not latex, nipples.)

It is not the companies as a rule as almost all bottled waters and pop

are in unsafe bottles. Look at the bottom for a small triangle. There

will be a number in the triangle and if it is a 1, as on most bottled

waters and pop, it is considered unsafe-possible leaching from the

container or from exterior contaminents. Milk jugs are generally in

the 2 range and more safe. While buying drinking water from a bottle,

keep in mind that it may not be any more than bottled tap water. There

are no rules to follow on this so companies can bottle tap water, like

Aquafina(I think or another major brand). Carry your own from home!

The best bottled water is supposed to be Petra and is expensive. You

can find alternative water purifiers and bottle your own-purified water

or make alkalized, purified water, like the Petra, for better health.

 

Hope your day is Great!
