About The AMAZING Core Hydration Bottles
These
days almost everyone carries a water bottle. There are all kinds on the market
made up of different types of plastic. Now some groups are questioning the safety
of certain plastics, particularly as the bottles start to wear.
Whether
you buy bottled water or conscientiously tote some from home, you'll want to avoid
swallowing chemicals along with it. Particularly for small children, whose bodies
are developing, it's best to steer clear of plastics that can release chemicals
that could harm them in the long term.
There
are chemicals in some water bottles that consumers have a right to know about
like bisphenoia. It is associated with prostate disorders, it is associated with
lowered sperm counts and it showing an association with alzheimers and at the
other end of life with learning disabilities.
Below,
the plastics not to choose (check the recycling number on the bottom of your bottle)
and those that are safer:
Plastics
to Avoid
#3
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) commonly contains di-2-ehtylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), an
endocrine
disruptor and probable human carcinogen, as a softener.
#6
Polystyrene (PS) may leach styrene, a possible endocrine disruptor and human carcinogen,
into water and food.
#7
Polycarbonate contains the hormone disruptor bisphenol-A, which can leach out
as bottles age, are heated or exposed to acidic solutions. Unfortunately, #7 is
used in most baby bottles and five-gallon water jugs and in many reusable sports
bottles.
Better
Plastics
#1
polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE), the most common and easily recycled
plastic for bottled water and soft drinks, has also been considered the most safe.
However, one 2003 Italian study found that the amount of DEHP in bottled spring
water increased after 9 months of storage in a PET bottle.
#2
High Density Polyethylene
#4
Low Density Polyethylene
#5
Polypropylene
The
sales for bottled water are estimated to be between $50 and $100 billion (US)
annually and increasing approximately 7 to 10 percent annually. In 2004, total
sales were approximately 154 billion liters (41 billion gallons).
In
developed countries, demand is driven by a variety of factors including convenience,
the perception that bottled water may be safer than local municipal water, and
taste preferences. Packaging and advertising work to foster these perceptions
and brand bottled water in ways similar to branded soft drinks. Though many municipalities,
particularly in the developed world, provide high-quality, highly regulated, potable
water, occasional problems with contamination from commercial fertilizer, MTBE,
or other contaminants are often widely publicized. Violations of tap water standards
are, in the United States, openly reported, especially examples like the severe
1993 Cryptosporidium outbreak in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which led to 100 deaths
and 400,000 illnesses (see: Milwaukee Cryptosporidium outbreak).
