The message here is very useful. I will tell my friends. Cheers drurvimb tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:16721 2009-12-11T17:59:23Z 2009-12-11T17:59:23Z now I see it..

Liz Kroboth tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:15812 2009-11-08T23:33:04Z 2009-11-08T23:33:04Z I tried checking out the links to the SIGG website mentioned in the blog but both have been removed. They don't even cover the issue in their FAQ. That seems rather suspicious to me. I feel incredibly disappointed right now. It shouldn't be so difficult to match sure the water you're drinking is safe.

Good for me because I only use glass for my drinking. It's a bit heavier but it is safer and no after taste.... Have a safe drinking everyone.

No. Eden Organic Beans are packed in steel cans coated with a baked on oleoresinous c-enamel that does not contain the endocrine disrupter chemical, bisphenol-A (BPA). Oleoresin is a natural mixture of an oil and a resin extracted from various plants, such as pine or balsam fir. These cans cost 14% more than the industry standard cans that do contain BPA. The can maker, Ball Corporation, tells us that Eden is the only U.S. food maker to date to use these BPA free cans and we have been since April 1999. dextrezza tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:14774 2009-10-08T03:23:08Z 2009-10-08T03:23:08Z I use Klean Kanteen as my daily water bottle and am happy with them so far. I do agree with Nick though about glass wine bottles or even glass bottles in general. For the most part I find that drinking out of glass gives the best taste (mainly because when clean nothing leaches...that I know of) for any drink but not the easiest way for everyday carrying related to weight and durability.

Also does anyone know about the metal water bottles made by Coleman. The same company that makes the camping supplies. I have 4 of them and now wonder about them. They were only $4.99 at Bed Bath And Beyond. They are not as heavy as Sigg. amy tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:14772 2009-10-08T01:11:49Z 2009-10-08T01:11:49Z Glass is definitely the way to go. As long as the colored glass (if your using a colored bottle) is truly colored glass and not painted. The taste is much better and you don't have to worry about contaminates. I'm happy to see the discussion of water coming to the table. I believe we will see much come of this as we discover what is really in our water. KN tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:14770 2009-10-07T21:00:35Z 2009-10-07T21:00:35Z I believe that SIGG bottles need liners because they are made from aluminum, whereas others are made of stainless steel. My kids are so disappointed that we tossed their SIGG bottles b/c they were so cute and the sport-tops were so convenient. But I noticed that the liners were peeling off around the mouth even before the BPA controversy, and I was worried about the aluminum exposure. (Our family drinks a lot of water. We had 6 SIGGs of various sizes that were constantly in use.) I was going to replace them with the new, "safer" lined ones through the free replacement program, but in the end I went with different brands completely. I am so done with SIGG!

This "secret ingredients" line should be seen as baloney! Nicole tag:blog.goodguide.com,2009-09-19:14378:14695 2009-10-01T18:28:23Z 2009-10-01T18:28:23Z You may want to try some of the new water bottles made from Titan. Don't be fooled by the No. 7. That means that the plastic doesn't fit in the other categories, so not all of them are polycarbonate. Tritan plastic is rated as No. 7, but it doesn't contain BPA. There are lots of these reusable water bottles on the market today. Some that come to mind are Camelbak, Kor One, Thermos, and many others.

Heavier yes but taste is great and I don't have to worry about "secret formulas."

Several years back we purchased a Rainsoft water filtration system based on the alarming facts shared by the sales representative when we had our first child. I can honestly say that the water tastes better but does it really filter out the harmful contaminants? It's hard to say without an independent analysis. It would probably blow our minds what we're really drinking which may be a large contributor to the proliferation of cancer in this country.

They are also offering 20% off their stainless bottles. I'd rather spend money there than on postage for a new Sigg!
