BPA in my fav bottle :(
Health and Lifestyle, Life In General, WTF!?! September 17th, 2008UPDATE to "Finally! A water bottle that doesn’t leak."
Okay... after all the FDA says... there are still articles / studies coming out saying that BPA (bisphenol A) has negative side effects on everything from diabetes to cardiovascular disease. This is complete bullshit and I have completely stopped trusting anything they say about how safe something is. On to the point... the bottle I had has BPA in it... so I am posting that I found a bottle just as good but without the potential health risks. Rubbermaid was kind enough to create a site displaying which of their products contains BPA (you can see my old bottle there) as well as alternative products that do not contain BPA. I bought a new bottle from them (good marketing that site!) that does not contain the chemical and still doesn't leak all over the place!

[...] UPDATE 9-17-2008: This bottle contains BPA. Fail. I’ve been looking for literally months for a water bottle / beverage container that doesn’t leak. Reason being that I like to bring my protein shakes with me to work and sip them throughout the day. Well, in the past… I’ve made quite a handful of messes. My car, my laptop carrying bag, my coat, shirts… the list continues. Last week I spied a nice looking water bottle on the receptionist’s desk and hit the jackpot. What I was really looking for was a “leak proof” design (read: it has a rubber seal in it so it actually makes a seal rather than plastic against plastic like all you other idiodic beverage containers currently distribute). Here we are… the Rubbermaid Chug Bottle. Success! No drops, no drips… I am a happy fellow. The receptionist was nice enough to buy me one while she was at her local Meijer (since my Meijer didn’t have one – I already checked). Awesome! Thanks Rubbermaid (and an even bigger thanks to the receptionist for being so cool and picking one up for me)!!!!!!! [...]
