Plastic bottles with numbers 3,6 and 7 at the bottom

[Guest guest]

Anyone using plastic reusable plastic drinking bottles, it might be

useful to check the number at the bottom (in the little triangle) of

your bottle..

 

The numbers 1, 2, 4 and 5 appear to be safe (or perhaps just safer?)

but those with 3, 6 or 7 appear to have the nasties in them (a-Bisphenol).

In the USA, they still won't ban the use of them in spite of levels

of a Bisphenol but in Australia they appear a little stricter.

 

Xooma X2O water bottles, flash looking lemon yellow coloured

water bottles sold for use with their little sachets of healthy

minerals, contain the 7 in the little circle. In other words, it

contains a Bisphenol and one will ingest this poison which leaks into

the contents of the bottle.

 

When you google for a-Bisphenol you will find plenty of articles.
