I feel it depends on the plastic- PET#1 (thin bottles referred to above) versus HDPE#2 (milky jug referred to above) versus LDPE#4 (I think Gatorade uses #4?)- all have different reactions to different liquids, in my opinion.............

But I would love to see real evidence on the plastic leaching into the water ongoing debate. I can't find anything- this came up on another thread and it seemed we could find no empirical data. I thought it had been debunked. I seem to always find only data that states the opposite- it is the quality of the fluid, not the container, in most cases, right?

Snopes says no?

Debunked?


On the other hand- John Hopkins-

BPA

I still feel safe! Not!
