Toxic Lexan

What you store your water in could be just as important to your health as the kind of water you drink. For instance, Lexan bottles (and, in fact, all bottles made with #7 plastic) are quite unstable, and have been shown to have toxic effects on the body.

In a recent study, polycarbonate plastics (including Lexan) were shown to increase aneuploidy, an abnormal loss or gain of chromosomes, which contributes to miscarriages and disorders like Down Syndrome in humans.

Nalgene is one brand that manufactures Lexan water bottles. I have a few of these in my cabinet, and use them primarily for hiking and camping trips in the Rocky Mountains. Since discovering that Lexan can be dangerous to my health, I've severely limited my use of them.

One thing I now do: I save Auquafina and Dasani water bottles to reuse. They are typically made out of #1 plastic, which, to my knowledge, is not as risky as using #7 plastic.

If you have some time, you might be interested to read what Dr. Mercola has to say about the toxicity of Lexan in his article "Nalgene Water Bottles Appear to Be Unsafe."

Not sure if this is exactly the same thing or just sadly similar. In an article published a few days ago in the L.A. Times, they reported on a chemical called bisphenol A. Its one of the world's most widely used chemical compounds, and it's commonly found in hard clear plastics such as water bottles and baby bottles.

Here's my take on the subject.

good thing you date your blog entries somewhere OTHER than the URL...

Holy muffin cakes! WHY WHY WHY would #1 be ANY safer than #7. You have made a completely unfounded assumption.

(Making an assumption that you are green) what do you think the environmental impact of those Dasani bottles are compared to nalgenes? How many nalgenes do you consume (as in use up) each year. How many Dasani bottled do you consume, even if you reuse them. Now lets calculate the total environmental cost of the production of total mass of plastic used and recycling effort (assuming you recycle.)

Ban all plastics that have bisphenol-A right? mmmm... good thinking.
