I was just commenting on the craziness in general

I'm drinking out of my PC bottle right now, and I could give less than two shits about it. There are way bigger causes of cancer than this plastic bottle. Hell, even sunlight can be a carcinogen.

Labs whose studies involve estrogen, no longer use plastic. Reason, the plastic contaminates samples with estrogen like compounds. Changes are the exposure won't cause major problems, but it makes you think.

You can buy stainless steel water bottles.

i'm currently using my SIG bottle, but that's b/c it was free.

the only one i paid for is the PC nalgene.

also if you want a new type nalgene, wal-mart sells them now. i like the new styles.
