NPR wrote:If it's a clear, hard, polycarbonate plastic bottle, it might contain a compound called bisphenol A, also known as BPA.

(my emphasis) Regarding Nalgene, does anyone here know that Nalgene uses plastic that specifically has bisphenol A?

So Nalgene bottles might contain a chemical that might cause problems for babies and is even less likely to cause problems for adults. But hey, the laser printer in your office might kill you first, in which case, you've got nothing to worry about...

I'd like to remind everyone here of the dangerous effects of Dihydrogen Monoxide - I know that stuff is in just about every Nalgene bottle ever used! Not to mention that there's just about a 100% relationship between cancer and Dihydrogen Monoxide exposure! Plus, it's a crucial link in global warming! Very scary stuff!

thanks tomdarch, now I can stop running in circles with my hands in the air. Phew

but that dihydrogen monoxide thing is pretty messed up. I hear that if you mix that with a little sodium chloride durring a meal, you might have a heart attack.

Don't forget about all of the mercury, arsenic, lead, asbestos, and other junk you track into your homes on a regular basis after walking accross parking lots.

well, I'm still shooting for death via skin or other cancers. Based on genetics/heredity, it's real high on my list - is there still hope for that if I drink out of a Nalgene?

or does that put other cancers out of the running? I got to know, because this is my future we're talking about, and if I'm dying of something new then I'd like to know about it first.
