Chet and I have been concerned about the the dangers of using plastic to store food and beverages since fall 2005. We had Klean Kanteens back when the company was a church group in California. The only way to order Kanteens was to call long distance and talk to a person.
Anyway, we are happy that the new research is bringing attention to the issues of plastic food storage and the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA). Two important recent academic articles are listed below. They are a bit technical, but good info.
Association of Urinary Bisphenol A Concentration With Medical Disorders and Laboratory Abnormalities in Adults – The scariest part is their conclusion: Higher BPA exposure, reflected in higher urinary concentrations of BPA, may be associated with avoidable morbidity in the community-dwelling adult population.
Bisphenol A and Risk of Metabolic Disorders
If you have not already switched, consider using a nonplastic reusable water bottle – good for the environment, good for you.
Klean Kanteens are amazing products! I own 4 of them and use them daily. They are much stronger than the aluminum competitors and can handle rough use without denting.
Thanks for this awesome tip! I’ve placed my order today and can’t wait for it to arrive.
Hope you and Chet are well!
Much Love,
