Why choose stainless steel? The problem with plastics...
It's popular to choose bisphenol A–free (BPA-free) water bottles and lunch boxes, because we've heard that chemical in plastic can cause cancer and other serious illnesses. Unfortunately, it turns out that our BPA-free water bottle and lunch boxes could be just as toxic as old BPA-rich nalgene.
Items that are free of BPA often contain other chemicals that behave in much the same way – leaching into foods and drinks. After being absorbed by the body, the chemicals can mimic the hormone estrogen in the body, thereby potentially increasing the risk of cancer, diabetes, obesity, and reproductive problems. And it's not just BPA. In one recent study, pthalates, a compound found in plastics, were linked to a 20 percent reduction in male fertility.
