This sounds like typical knee-jerking if I ever saw it. I particularly loved the quote, "if we wait until we have hard evidence it will be too late!" Also known as, "No, we don't really have any proof that it is a problem, but we sure FEEL like it must be bad, so we need to do something about it!"

Even if their study was peer reviewed and duplicated (which I gather it hasn't been), then it looks to me like we should possibly not use harsh detergents in our bottle (which I don't do anyway).

I'm going to go back to drinking my caffinated diet coke with aspertame... Wait, maybe I will have iced tea with sacharine instead. Now that it's warming up, we might want to break out our insect repellent with DEET in it. Or should we?
